On the first of September 2017, we went to work on building a groundbreaking new analysis service for the European power markets. Our goal was to have it ready for you in one year – and here we are, having reached our first milestone.

We have turned every stone in our pursuit for new ways of doing things faster and better for you. Naturally, we’ve changed the subscription model as well.

Claim access

With Energy Quantified, you claim admission once, and enjoy access to analysis content on demand indefinite. However, when your usage clearly indicates that EQ has become a part of your operations, we get back to you and ask for a subscription fee for the information you use frequently. If you for any reason find that you do not want to subscribe, we simply limit the access to this content. We do not shut you out of EQ entirely.

The advantage is obvious. You enjoy uninterrupted and on-demand access to market intelligence and analysis, and there is no unnecessary bureaucracy. In effect, you pay for what you need in your operations.

A huge platform already

Energy Quantified now offers price forecasts, market-moving fundamentals and weather information at a breathtaking pace, with 15 minutes time resolutions and an unprecedented number of alternative forecasts – for all price areas in Europe.

We even support local forecasts: Tell us where you or your clients operate, and we will feed you long-term historical data, seasonal norms and forecasts for any location you specify. All in 15 min resolution of course.

Convenience of delivery is as important as the data itself, and it all happens within the same uniform and easy-to-use framework – saving our users time and money from the get-go.

How we got here

Surpassing our high ambitions came about with a lot of hard work and an open, investigative attitude to the opportunities offered by recent advances in data handling. And not least with invaluable help and support from our fantastic colleagues at Montel, the competent professionals with our partner SMHI, as well as the supportive feedback from hundreds of users.

We’ve only just started

EQ is all about continuous development, incremental improvements and cool new inventions. For obvious reasons, I cannot give away all our ideas,but we are happy to invite you into our power analysis laboratory, to share our ideas and test new concepts with you.

Why are we changing things? Because it’s 2018!

French power market spikes – will history repeat itself?

Towards the end of 2022, power prices across Europe were extremely high as cold weather, a lack of wind power, strong gas markets and low levels of electricity generation from French nuclear plants all combined to create the power market’s perfect storm. More specifically, French power prices skyrocketed in week 50 as the supply situation became scarce. In reality, power supplies were only secured thanks to reduced consumption and strong imports, supported by all available French power generators running at maximum capacity.

Germany re-starts coal-fired plants – will the Q1-23 supply be secured?

We’re taking a look at the energy crisis across Europe and Germany, in particular, this winter. Gas prices are soaring, the European gas supply is under pressure when Russia is more or less cutting the gas delivery to Europe. The government in Germany has opened up to bringing back 5.9 GW of mothballed coal units in order to save gas as the country is struggling with its gas supply this winter. In addition, the power balance is worsened by the nuclear closures (4.1 GW) and some coal-fired plants seem to close down according to the coal exit plans despite the initiative from the government to re-start mothballed capacity.
