The EU #electricity market experienced a weekend filled with unexpected twists & turns. Low demand, still 9-10% below pre-crisis levels, combined with strong solar production, created a surplus of #energy in most countries, pushing wholesale market prices into negative territory. 
On Sunday, May 28th, the price on the EpexSpot exchange reached €400/MWh in the Netherlands.
This surplus affected the Day-Ahead exchanges, Intraday markets, and balancing mechanism, highlighting the complexity of managing transmission system surpluses.

India's #electricity grid set several record highs Tuesday - there's a heatwave going on.
Per @GridIndia1's MERIT data (via @CSEP_Org's carbontracker.in):
1) Record demand met: ~216 GW
2) Record #coal generation: over 166 GW
📢 3 issues going forward...(short 🧵)

Issues:
1) This isn't over - typical annual peaks are in June(ish).
2) The peak was not AM any more, rather, closer to 3 PM
3) Coal's output has been steady near max, with long durations of highs.
These 3 pts have implications as expanded below.

This AM I entered the uranium sector in a small manner. Been watching the market and learning for some time now. I bought pure play physical uranium trust units. Not explorers, not producers. I may or may not buy producers, possibly explorers.
Given the spot price of uranium is a secret until the last day of each month and the longitudinal spot price suffered immensely post-Fukushima now is a moment to act. Others, bolder, perhaps much smarter, moves a year or so ago.👏
There have been some instantial minor see-saws for the last decade, but the market has gradually strengthened and a number of factors are bringing nuclear power into the public psyche.
