On the first of September 2017, we went to work on building a groundbreaking new analysis service for the European power markets. Our goal was to have it ready for you in one year – and here we are, having reached our first milestone.

We have turned every stone in our pursuit for new ways of doing things faster and better for you. Naturally, we’ve changed the subscription model as well.

Claim access

With Energy Quantified, you claim admission once, and enjoy access to analysis content on demand indefinite. However, when your usage clearly indicates that EQ has become a part of your operations, we get back to you and ask for a subscription fee for the information you use frequently. If you for any reason find that you do not want to subscribe, we simply limit the access to this content. We do not shut you out of EQ entirely.

The advantage is obvious. You enjoy uninterrupted and on-demand access to market intelligence and analysis, and there is no unnecessary bureaucracy. In effect, you pay for what you need in your operations.

A huge platform already

Energy Quantified now offers price forecasts, market-moving fundamentals and weather information at a breathtaking pace, with 15 minutes time resolutions and an unprecedented number of alternative forecasts – for all price areas in Europe.

We even support local forecasts: Tell us where you or your clients operate, and we will feed you long-term historical data, seasonal norms and forecasts for any location you specify. All in 15 min resolution of course.

Convenience of delivery is as important as the data itself, and it all happens within the same uniform and easy-to-use framework – saving our users time and money from the get-go.

How we got here

Surpassing our high ambitions came about with a lot of hard work and an open, investigative attitude to the opportunities offered by recent advances in data handling. And not least with invaluable help and support from our fantastic colleagues at Montel, the competent professionals with our partner SMHI, as well as the supportive feedback from hundreds of users.

We’ve only just started

EQ is all about continuous development, incremental improvements and cool new inventions. For obvious reasons, I cannot give away all our ideas,but we are happy to invite you into our power analysis laboratory, to share our ideas and test new concepts with you.

Why are we changing things? Because it’s 2018!

French market Q1 - a perfect storm?

Since the start of November, the French power balance has been limited due to low nuclear availability. Given how strongly France is now connected to the GB market, we have seen spot prices close to 300 €/MWh - about 50 €/MWh higher than the German market. As the market continues to be dominated by strong gas and CO2 prices, the French Forward prices for January and February are significantly higher than the latest spot prices, indicating a high positive risk premium in a strained power market. In this blog, EQ takes a closer look into the fundamental power balance numbers for France in Q1-2022, focusing on the outlook for nuclear generation and consumption uncertainty.

Back on September 17th, we posted a blog focusing on the very low hydro reservoir levels in the Norway-South area at the time, alongside the impacts of strong demand for increased imports – required to cover both consumption and demands for exports on the new UK interconnector. In this blog, EQ will look closer at recent development and the outlook for the winter in Norway-South.
