In December 2023, the decline in the average gas prices and the increase in wind energy production led to a year-on-year decline in prices in most European electricity markets.
As European spot gas prices were lower during December affecting wholesale electricity prices, most of the countries adapted their cross-border electricity trade accordingly to meet electricity demand requirements.
Most of the SEE countries increased their electricity imports in compliance with the higher electricity demand.
