A push to build more renewable generation in Germany will begin to bring down wholesale power prices by the end of next year, according to market analysts.
Electricity prices in Germany have been consistently more expensive than neighboring France since the end of 2023 with the spread at its widest earlier this month at €28. This difference is largely due to France benefitting from its large fleet of low-cost nuclear generation.
