After a calm start to the day and a peak in the late afternoon, the price of gas in Amsterdam, the reference market for Europe, it closed the session at 339 euros per megawatt hour (+5% compared to the day before), just below the historical maximum of 341 euros reached less than an hour before the end of the last session of the week.
The increase in the price of gas is also reflected in the cost of electricity in Italy, which today during trading reached a peak of 870 euros and then settled at a daily average of 713,69 euros per megawatt hour.
The average value of the electricity market - which emerges from the GME data - is slightly down compared to yesterday's 718,71 euros, but still remains very high: 100 euros higher than the value of two days ago, when it stood at 614 euros and 200 euros more than the 507,79 of a week ago.
