Following strong electricity spot price outcomes in May, all regions had an even greater level of sustained high prices around $300/MWh during June. In May we highlighted the $299 phenomena, where more than 15% of the value of the average price was due to prices in the $250 to $300/MWh price band. Last month in June this portion has grown to almost $25%, while the portion of prices in the $300 to $600/MWh price band has also grown to just over 15%.
