Hello, The spot market prices rised the whole year. But in December it fully went off rail. Nothing good will follow.

I’d like to know the exact reason for that massive increase. Is it undersupply? If yes why is no one doing arbitrage from other countries? Is it increased fuel cost coupled with little supply from renewables? Is it the shutdown of three nuclear power plants and the fact that a lot of base load must now be supplied from somewhere else? Where will it head to? My personal decision is as follows: I will now try to obtain a minor amount of land and build a pv array there hopefully in the scale of ~1MWp. This will cost less than 1M€ and I’m sure that I and my family can fully life of the earnings later in my life. Maybe I let some sheeps roaming around the property to cut down grass and move in a trailer next to the facility once my kids are larger. For sure I will get the biggest and most scary sheep dog one can find to keep strangers away then. Edit: with other words: I will get a solar farmer!
