Forcasted Price

11.05.2026 - 17.05.2026
9,4 ct/kWh

Note: All electricity prices exclude grid fees, levies, and taxes.

How are prices influenced?

Der Preis dürfte von 11,39 ct/kWh auf etwa 9,4 ct/kWh sinken. Dieser Rückgang ist gut erklärbar, weil in der aktuellen Woche mehr preisdämpfender Einfluss durch erneuerbare Energien und eine geringere Nachfrage durch den Feiertag zu erwarten ist. Besonders zur Mittagszeit sorgt Solarstrom häufiger für Entlastung, während zeitweise kräftigerer Wind zusätzlich teure konventionelle Kraftwerke aus der Preisbildung drängen könnte. Gleichzeitig bleiben Gas- und CO₂-Kosten ein stabilisierender Faktor, vor allem in den Abendstunden und bei schwächerer Solarproduktion. Insgesamt spricht die Kombination aus mehr erneuerbarer Einspeisung, feiertagsbedingt geringerer Last und weiterhin erhöhten fossilen Grenzkosten für einen spürbaren, aber nicht extremen Rückgang gegenüber der Vorwoche.
