Market Report 2025
How the Dunkelflaute and Hellbrise affect the grid and market
The weather is keeping the European power industry busy. The phenomena of Dunkelflaute and Hellbrise are occurring more and more frequently.
What is happening on the European electricity market? What developments have characterised the market in recent months? The Amprion Market Report 2025, which will be published on 22 May, provides the answers. The Market Report team will present the most important findings in a webinar from 1 to 2 pm in English.
The Market Report
The main topics of the report are Dunkelflaute and Hellbrise. How have these weather phenomena affected the grid and the market? In addition, the expansion of renewable energies reached new records in the year 2024. Renewable energies accounted for 60% of net electricity generation. At the same time, more flexible generation capacity was decommissioned. These developments are causing growing price volatility. In addition, the physical conditions in the grid and their effects on the market play an important role in the discussion about the configuration of the European bidding zones.
The webinar
CTO Dr Hendrik Neumann, Dr Peter Lopion, Ramona Grügelsiepe and Julia Klammer from Regulatory Management will highlight the main topics of the report. Dr Carsten Lehmköster, Director Economic Grid Management and Managing Director of Amprion Offshore, will address future developments and discussions on the configuration of the German-Luxembourgish bidding zone.
