Europe's day-ahead market (SDAC) has switched to 15-minute resolution blocks. More granular bids are already revealing sharper intra-hour signals in Poland: • Highest SDAC within-hour spread: 18:00 → 227 EUR/MWh • Largest gap between TGE fixing I and SDAC: 19:45 → 177 EUR/MWh Hourly pricing masks rapid solar and wind swings - shifting to 15-minute products lets markets see and price those swings more accurately - reducing balancing, rewarding flexible assets and yielding prices that reflect real conditions. Very interesting to see how the market evolves further. #SDAC15min #PowerMarkets #Electricity #Poland

Data on losses due to oversupply PLN. Loss Data Period: Amount of Oversupply / Volume of Unused Electricity Amount of Loss / Costs Borne by PLN / State. 2024: ~ 37.6 thousand GWh of surplus electricity (unabsorbed) ~ IDR 44.1 trillion PLN losses due to take-or-pay & electricity paid for but not used. 2015-2024: ~ 329 GWh of unused electricity due to oversupply (IPP contracts) ~ IDR 341.5 trillion in total must be paid to private producers during the period even though the electricity was not used. 2015-around early 2024: Oversupply of around 31 thousand GWh (before 2024 data). Losses of around IDR 32 trillion during that period (2015-2024), before surging in 2024. Interpretation & Notes The Rp 341.5 trillion figure is an accumulation over ~10 years, from 2015 to 2024, for electricity produced but not used by private power plants, based on contracts that require PLN to pay (take or pay). For 2024 alone, the Rp 44.1 trillion loss is due to a surplus of 37.6 thousand GWh of "unabsorbed" electricity, predominantly from fossil-fueled power plants such as coal. This loss figure does not take into account external costs such as environmental and health impacts, or lost opportunities because funds used to pay for unused electricity cannot be used for other, potentially more productive investments. Reports suggest that this oversupply could hamper energy transition projects. So is it still necessary to build new power plants ? #Losses #Oversupply #AoD #JFF #ShareToVIP

Victorians will soon find it easier to access free, independent and fair help with energy complaints! The front page of every electricity and gas bill must include EWOV’s details, thanks to the decision by the Essential Services Commission. This is a significant step forward in empowering consumers and promoting fair outcomes in the energy market. Energy and Water Ombudsman (Victoria) Catherine Wolthuizen shared: “Despite our efforts, many Victorians aren't aware that they can come to us for free, independent help when they’re having trouble with their energy provider.” This change will dramatically improve consumer awareness, starting 1 February 2026. More improvements are also coming for gas and electricity customers, under the Essential Services Commission (ESC) stage one of the Review of the Energy Retail Code of Practice. • Automatic switching to the best offer from the retailer for customers experiencing payment difficulty • Better access to concessions and easier switching to cheaper plans • Stronger protections for consumers on plans that no longer exist, to make sure they’re not paying unreasonably high prices • Increasing the minimum debt amount for disconnection to $1,000.

GHG Quota - Challenges For Transport And Infrastructure In Germany, the greenhouse gas reduction quota (GHG quota) is a key instrument for emission reduction in the transport sector. Increasing targets for this quota, which will apply from 2026, come with substantial logistical challenges for the entire supply chain. For us at MB Energy and enport by MB Energy, it is important to make sure our facilities and operations are ready for these new requirements. This includes adapting our tank terminals and logistics for the safe handling of all future fuel components that come into the mix. This is not just a matter of regulatory compliance. It is about ensuring that our entire delivery process remains reliable and efficient throughout the energy transition so we can continue to provide our customers with secure energy supply. #MBEnergy #OurEnergyYourWay #GHGQuota #Transport #Logistics #Infrastructure 

Important development in the UK Capacity Market today, with broader implications for the role of gas in the UK power system. DESNZ has just opened a consultation ahead of the 2026 #CapacityMarket auction, proposing to create a premium clearing price category for “dispatchable enduring capacity” — in practice, unabated gas. This would allow new gas plants to bid above the current £75/kW ceiling, while other technologies (batteries, DSR, etc.) remain in the standard scheme. Only two years ago, the government was considering the opposite: lowering emissions thresholds to restrict unabated gas from securing multi-year contracts. The new approach, effectively supporting new unabated gas build, highlights how #energysecurity is reshaping policy priorities. The consultation is open until 27 November.

Top stories today (£) ⚡ Britain needs more robust electricity planning standards https://lnkd.in/eDjDsYcn A more robust electricity planning standard which mirrors the approach used in the gas sector is needed to mitigate the impact of exceptionally cold winters. That is the view of Energy Systems Catapult (ESC), which is urging Ofgem to introduce a requirement for electricity networks to plan for the demand that would be needed during a 1-in-20 extreme winter scenario. 💷 Suppliers can’t be expected to offer ‘interest-free credit’ to households in debt https://lnkd.in/ekMucwPZ Energy companies cannot be expected to serve as "interest-free credit" for households prioritising credit card debt payments over utility arrears, a new report warns. The Resolution Foundation's latest report, Money on My Mind, reveals that the number of customers falling behind on their electricity bills with no repayment plan in place has more than tripled from 300,000 in 2012 to over 1 million at the end of 2024, with the number of customers falling behind on their gas bill tripling from 300,000 to 900,000. ⚠️ Don’t ignore gas leakage https://lnkd.in/eEee9NB6 Gas leakage may not command the same attention as electricity losses or water leaks, but it deserves more attention than it gets. maxine frerk, of the Energy Geeks thinktank, calls for Ofgem to reconsider incentives to tackle waste on the gas networks to drive down customer bills and tackle emissions.

⚡ We can’t control energy markets, but we can control how much energy we use. Even as more UK electricity comes from low-carbon sources, household bills are still influenced by volatile global gas prices. Proposals like “Pot Zero” aim to make pricing fairer, but until that happens, the smartest move is to make every kilowatt count. That’s where underfloor heating comes in. Operating at lower flow temperatures than traditional radiators, UFH works beautifully with efficient heat sources like heat pumps—meaning you get the same comfort using less energy. Benefits: Lower running temperatures = lower bills Even heat distribution = more comfort at less cost Perfect pairing with renewable-ready systems Read on: https://heyor.ca/f3HgcK #UFHDesign #EnergyEfficiency #HeatingProfessionals #UnderfloorHeating

⚡ Your electricity cost isn’t just about the number of units (kWh). While this issue is more frequently witnessed in SMEs, surprisingly even large facilities sometimes face the same challenge. Two plants consuming the same number of units can end up with very different overall costs. One may be paying around PKR 40/kWh, while another pays PKR 90+/kWh. Why such a big difference? Because the bill is not only about units consumed. It is also shaped by: 💸 Fixed Charges 🔌 Sanctioned Load 📈 Maximum Demand (MDI) ⚡ Low Power Factor (LPF) ⏰ Time-of-Use (TOU) 👉 Many facility managers and owners overlook these factors and simply attribute high bills to “expensive electricity.” In reality, smarter load management can unlock substantial savings. ⚡ Insight: It’s not just how much energy you use, it’s also when and how you use it. 📢 Join us in our upcoming webinar: “Unlocking Savings by Deciphering Your Electricity Bill.” #EnergyManagement #PowerOptimization #SustainableEnergy #EnergyEfficiency #IndustrialSolutions #FacilityManagement #SMEs
