Power in Poland Beating Germany on Shortage: Energy Markets

Poland’s electricity is becoming more expensive than Germany’s as the country fails to build enough plants to meet demand, threatening to make eastern Europe’s biggest economy dependent on power imports.

Prices in Poland traded as much as 2.47 euros ($3.25) a megawatt-hour higher than in Germany on Nov. 8, the biggest premium since April, compared with an average discount of 1.42 euros this year, according to broker data on Bloomberg. The next-year contract traded above its western neighbor’s on 32 of the past 40 days, the data show.
