R to @Kl_Stone: 6/6 April 26, which has just begun, is the 4th month in a row with a positive foreign trade balance for electricity (at least for now). We haven't had that in a while. (March also ended positively with 15 GWh, but was below the rounding threshold for 0.1 TWh)

R to @Kl_Stone: 5/6 The #electricity price (day-ahead) today (April 5th) was Ø -16 €/MWh. Tomorrow it will be Ø 3 €/MWh (0.3 ct/kWh). Wind & sun will also be quite strong tomorrow, and perhaps the day after.

R to @Kl_Stone: 4/6 Some Ø-Day-Ahead #exchange electricity prices (1 MWh) for orders on April 3rd. & delivery on 04/04/26 Germany 33 € (84.5% EE on 04/04/26) France: €20 Poland: €66 Denmark 1: €31 Sweden 3: €16 Switzerland: €74

R zu @Kl_Stone: 2/2 ..Bis jetzt läuft wohl alles stabil.

Here you can see very clearly that the fossils... ..except for a very small and probably unavoidable remainder of brown coal (2 GW), natural gas (1 GW) & waste incineration (0.9 GW).. ..are actually out at the moment (12:30). Solar appears to be heavily curtailed. 1/2

Admittedly, a still very rare & atypical #CO₂ value for German #electricity generation. But not a fake. Today that's just the way it is. Happy Easter 🐇 to all followers and other readers

RT by @Kl_Stone: Ethiopia's state electric mobility strategy with a hard ban on combustion engines to ensure national self-sufficiency is increasingly proving to be a strategic masterpiece.

That was it then... https://www.spiegel.de/politik/deutschland/wolfgang-kubicki-parteivize-will-fdp-chef- Werden-a-297d15d5-bfc4-4aea-8a6a-7960606d14c4

R to @Kl_Stone: 2/2 ..consider? Because your theory would only work if electricity flowed from Germany to Poland at this time. The opposite is the case. Electricity will flow FROM Poland TO GERMANY at the specified time tomorrow. From cheaper (-210 €) to more expensive (-114 €)

This doesn't really seem conclusive to me, since the price tomorrow in Poland is TWICE AS NEGATIVE as in Germany (-210 € (PL) vs. -114 € (D) both at the minimum at 2 p.m.) How would that work? Wouldn't you like to think about your theory again... 1/2

R to @Kl_Stone: 2/2 ..I'll show you how it really works (with congestion revenue, border coupling points, EU rules, etc.)

Then you don't understand how electricity is traded in the EU We will be importing electricity from Poland in the early afternoon tomorrow, which will have a price (converted) of €-210 on the Polish stock exchange at this time Can we get this money? No! If you like, explain... 1/2

France tomorrow 2 p.m.: -90 €/MWh Poland tomorrow 2 p.m.: -210 €/MWh This is not a specialty of the German #energy transition And anyway. If the electricity is expensive, you don't like it, but if it's cheap, you don't like it either.

Anyone who believes that there was already a lot of renewable electricity today has not yet seen the forecast for tomorrow (data for solar* & onshore wind is only available so far). (*Solar including production for own consumption)

Interim result today 3:45 p.m.: Already an #export surplus of 176 GWh in less than 16 hours and an #RE share of 86.6% based on production. In terms of pure domestic demand, renewables would have covered well over 100% (maximum around 12:45 to 140%).

R to @Kl_Stone: 6/5 Addition & correction: On 1/5: Electricity Map has corrected yesterday's average CO₂ value from 307g/kWh to 225g/kWh On 5/5: Negative prices tomorrow in many countries between 9 a.m. and late afternoon. Minimum in Germany -114 € (14:00), France -90 €, Poland -210 €

R to @Kl_Stone: 5/5 The #electricity price (day-ahead) today (April 3rd) is Ø 33 €/MWh. Tomorrow it will be Ø -16 €/MWh (-1.6 ct/kWh). In the next few days negative stock market prices and very strong winds will spread across large parts of Central Europe.

R to @Kl_Stone: 4/5 Some Ø-Day-Ahead #exchange electricity prices (1 MWh) for orders on April 2nd. & delivery on 04/03/26 Germany 85 € (73.6% EE on 04/03/26) France: €75 Poland: €100 Denmark 1: €80 Spain: €14 Czech Republic: €93

R to @Kl_Stone: 3/5 Our imports yesterday came from: Denmark, France, Norway, Belgium & Sweden. On the same day, exports went to: Austria, Denmark, Czech Republic, Switzerland, Poland, Luxembourg, Norway, Belgium, Netherlands & France.

R to @Kl_Stone: 2/5 While the tweet above showed domestic #electricity generation (1,173 TWh), here is the composition of domestic #demand coverage (1,082 TWh) excluding exports: Self-produced renewable energy: 79.6% (of demand) Own-produced Fossil: 20.4% Imports: 0.0% (net)

Public net electricity generation in Germany yesterday April 3rd, 2026: Total 1,171 TWh RES (wind, PV, biome., water): 73.6% Fossil (coal, gas, oil): 26.4% CO2 307g/kWh Total net EXPORT 2026: 2.58 TWh of 129.4 TWh (2.0% of generation) #Energy transition 1/5

RT by @Kl_Stone: Jens Spahn can definitely recommend a medium-sized consulting firm from his constituency.

R to @Kl_Stone: 8/8 You can see that a low export price (caused by a lot of wind and/or sun) creates more benefits for your own grid than many people would think. The €112,700 mentioned came from 1 hour of trading with a neighbor. There's a lot more going on today!

R to @Kl_Stone: 7/8 ..But what happens to this money? This is regulated very sensibly in the EU. The two network operators - on each side of the border - divide this money between themselves and have to invest it in network expansion. This relieves electricity customers and taxpayers!

R to @Kl_Stone: 6/8 ..Then the German/Polish border interconnection point, which effectively acts as a "middleman", generated so-called "bottleneck revenue" of €112,700 (€92 x 1,225) with a trading volume of 1,225 MWh in the hour just ended. Not bad for an hour...

R to @Kl_Stone: 4/8 The electricity exchange of each country actually pays or receives the electricity traded across borders at its OWN exchange price. So if today between midnight and 1:00 a.m. the German stock exchange price is around €8/MWh...

R to @Kl_Stone: 5/8 ..and in Poland at the same time (see below) at around 100 €/MWh, then this means: that the electricity from Germany was sold to the BORDER COUPLING STATION during this hour for around €8/MWh. And then for around 100 €/MWh from the BORDER COUPLING STATION on to Poland...

R to @Kl_Stone: 3/8 of 0 € A situation like this causes some people to gasp and exclaim like: "What, we don't get any money for it and we give away our electricity so that it gets dumped abroad, blah blah blah." But in reality it's not that simple...

R to @Kl_Stone: 2/x ..is the slightly darker mint green stripe directly underneath. As mentioned in the daily overview, this means that in the daily curve of the stock exchange price (below the one for Germany) the stock market price is close to...

RT by @Kl_Stone: Since I just wrote about strong winds tonight in my regular "daily overview thread" in the last tweet (5/5): You can see it very well here (below). onshore wind is the mint green area directly under the yellow solar area & offshore wind... 1/8

R to @Kl_Stone: 5/5 The #electricity price (day-ahead) today (April 3rd) is Ø 85 €/MWh. Tomorrow it will only be Ø 33 €/MWh (3.3 ct/kWh). Strongly increasing winds during the night and therefore a stock market price of around €0/MWh for a long period tomorrow in many European countries

R to @Kl_Stone: 3/5 Our imports yesterday came from: Denmark, Norway, France, Belgium, Netherlands, Poland, Sweden & Switzerland. On the same day, exports went to: Austria, Switzerland, Netherlands, Luxembourg, France, Belgium, Norway, Czech Republic, Poland & Denmark.

R to @Kl_Stone: 4/5 Some Ø-Day-Ahead #exchange electricity prices (1 MWh) for orders on April 1st. & delivery on 04/02/26 Germany 114 € (52.9% EE on 04/02/26) France: €110 Poland: €104 Denmark 1: €106 Portugal: €6 Switzerland: €131

R to @Kl_Stone: 2/5 ..delivered in the next few days. However, you can roughly see the trend from the graphic (below). Columns down show exports, columns up show imports. For April 2nd Imports probably just outweigh the imports for April 3rd. & 04.04. exports predominate.

Public net electricity generation in Germany yesterday April 2nd, 2026: Total 1,263 TWh RES (wind, PV, biom., water): 52.9% Fossil (coal, gas, oil): 47.1% CO2 411g/kWh Unfortunately, the data regarding net IMPORT or net EXPORT is missing today. Will be... 1/5

Another great speech from Robin #Mesarosch (SPD)

RT by @Kl_Stone: Leipelt raised money for the widow of the philosopher Kurt Huber, who was executed by the Nazis. In 1944 he was arrested and sentenced to death. In January 1945 he was murdered in the Munich-Stadelheim prison. Today stumbling blocks in Wilhelmsburg remind us of him and his family 2/2

RT by @Kl_Stone: Hans Leipelt - a name you should know in Wilhelmsburg. He grew up here, studied chemistry and joined the White Rose resistance group. Instead of remaining silent, he reproduced their leaflets and distributed them. 1/2

RT von @Kl_Stone: Europa verstärkt seine Energiesouveränität. Die Niederlande stellen fast 8 Milliarden Euro für Offshore-Windenergie in der Nordsee bereit. Einen Tag nach dem Start der französischen 10-GW-Ausschreibung beschleunigen beide Nationen ihre heimische Energieversorgung. Mehr Wind. Mehr Energie. Weniger Abhängigkeit.

RT by @Kl_Stone: During the Corona crisis, Europe unnecessarily hoarded a lot of vaccines and masks that were missing elsewhere. We should be more far-sighted in this crisis and reduce oil consumption so that poorer countries AND we can get through the crisis better.
