Aurora flags rising negative price exposure across European zones

Aurora Energy Research has published a report examining negative day-ahead prices across European power markets. The title, Below Zero: Navigating Europe's Negative Price Phenomenon, signals the firm treats this as a market-structure issue, not an anomaly.

Negative price hours have increased across multiple zones as must-run renewable capacity grows faster than flexible demand and storage can absorb. Capture prices for solar and wind assets are directly compressed when these hours cluster at midday or high-wind periods. Aurora's framing suggests the phenomenon is widespread enough to require systematic risk management rather than case-by-case handling.

No zone-specific figures or hour counts were disclosed in the available summary. Analysts seeking the underlying data will need to access the full Aurora report directly.
