Soaring wind power generation will keep electricity prices in check, even as freezing temperatures and snow grip northwest Europe over the coming week.

The UK’s Met Office has issued a yellow alert for snow and ice in Scotland on Sunday, with northern England also impacted from Monday, it said. London could see temperatures as low as -2C (28F) next Thursday. Snow and ice warnings were already in place for parts of southern Germany on Friday.
