Wholesale Energy Spot Market: Scarcity Price data remains active status in CEIC and is reported by XM Compañía de Expertos en Mercados S.A. E.S.P.. The data is categorized under Global Database’s Colombia – Table CO.P001: Wholesale Energy Market Price. The Colombian Energy Exchange, managed by XM, in which generators and traders participate, selling and buying energy at the exchange price, has a ceiling price for the sale of energy called scarcity price, which corresponds to the maximum value that the country's demand can pay for energy. This price is calculated monthly according to the calculations established in the regulation that defines the reliability charge scheme. The scarcity price is determined according to the variable costs associated with the SIN (Sistema Interconectado Nacional) and the price of the fuel

The information contained in the dataset was compiled using data provided by official sources. This study combines the use of two main datasets. The first is provided by the Colombian electricity market operator XM, available on its website (www.xm.com.co) under the heading ‘Portal BI’. The second source is provided by Colombia's National Administrative Department of Statistics (DANE) (www.dane.gov.co). Portal BI provides information for each electricity-generating plant on the following variables: bid price (BP), positive reconciliation (PR), electricity generation (GEN), energy inputs (IN) and system marginal prices (SMP). The index of industrial employment (IE) is obtained from DANE. The model is estimated with daily data over the period January 2005–August 2015.

Context

On 1st September 2006, the Wholesale Electricity and Capacity Market was launched in Russia. The nodal pricing system is applied to the wholesale market: each node gets an individual price value for a certain hour. For the price analysis and forecast problem, the analyst uses the weighted average of the nodal prices for certain territory such as price zone, united energy system and others. More details about the Wholesale Electricity and Capacity Market of Russia you will find in my latest paper The Three-Headed Dragon: Electricity, Trading, Analysis.

Content

The data files include

1. the weighted average of the nodal day ahead prices for the European and Siberian price zones of the market;
2. the weighted average of the nodal day ahead prices for six United Energy Systems: NorthWest, Centre, Ural, South, Middle Volga and Siberia;
3. the day ahead scheduled volume for the European and Siberian price zones;
4. the weighted average of the nodal intraday prices for three United Energy Systems: NorthWest, Centre and Siberia

Both the price and electricity consumption forecast problem is highly important on the Wholesale Electricity Market. Thus, the questions:

• What price should we expect tomorrow, next week, next year?
• What electricity consumption should we expect tomorrow, next week, next year?

The database is a collection of all the operators (power plants) active in the North Italy bidding zone. Our effort has been that of matching the names/acronyms used in the market with the unit reference numbers, to estimate the maximum capacity of each operator and to establish which is the generation technology used by each operator in the list.

This dataset contains all the source data of the figures presented in the CRE quarterly observatories on wholesale markets (available at this address).

Forward markets are believed to aggregate information about future spot prices and reduce the cost of producing the commodity. We develop a measure of the extent to which forward and spot prices agree in markets with transaction costs. Using this measure, we show that day-ahead prices better reflect real-time prices at all locations in California's electricity market after the introduction of financial trading. We then present evidence suggesting that operating costs and input fuel use fell after the introduction of financial trading on days when the nonconvexities inherent to the production and transmission of electricity are especially relevant.

In April 2025, Denmark had the highest average day-ahead electricity price among Nordic countries, amounting to 75.71 euros per megawatt-hour. Over the past few years, electricity prices soared in the Nordic region, the result of a global energy crisis that affected fossil fuels and electricity prices.

The electricity delivery process has experienced a major shift in recent years, driven by a push to reduce emissions. Governments across Europe are actively moving away from conventional sources of electricity generation, leading to a decline in the continent's dependency on fossil fuels. According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), renewables accounted for 41.7% of electricity generation in Europe in 2022, up from 32.9% in 2017. The rise of renewables has spurred an influx of renewable generators and necessitated increased investment in electricity networks. This has lifted revenue for transmission and distribution network operators. Revenue is forecast to rise at a compound annual rate of 8.7% over the five years through 2025, reaching €2.8 billion. Falling wholesale prices and a reduction in overall electricity consumption spurred a drop in revenue during the pandemic. Excess demand for natural gas as economies loosened pandemic-related restrictions spurred a strong rebound in wholesale electricity prices in 2021, translating to a jump in revenue. Wholesale prices recorded a renewed spike following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, spurring a surge in revenue generated by electricity producers and suppliers. Renewable generators were able to rake in extra profit from electricity sold to wholesale markets at inflated prices, counterbalancing a significant rise in costs for fossil fuel generators and electricity suppliers. Wholesale prices have since come down as Europe has diversified its fuel mix away from Russian gas. Revenue is forecast to decline by 5.1% in the current year. Revenue is forecast to increase at a compound annual rate of 0.3% over the five years through 2030 to €2.9 billion. The revised Renewable Energy Directive of the EU has set a goal for 69% of electricity to be generated from renewables by 2030. Electricity generators will continue expanding their renewables capacity, while investment in upgrading the electricity network to accommodate the rapid shift to renewables will boost income for transmission and distribution network operators. Rising renewable electricity generation will place downward pressure on wholesale prices, though the electrification of heat and transport is set to spur an uptick in demand for electricity across the continent.
