What happened to AFRR in 2025?
• Downward capacity dropped from 20.7 €/MW/h in Oct. 2024 to 6.2 €/MW/h in April 2025. Battery revenues peaked at 750 k€/MW/y during Q2 and Q3 of 2024. Since then, the revenues declined in Q4 and have since stabilized at 200 k€/MW/y in 2025. These revenues are mainly driven by aFRR reservation and activation.
What happened to mfrr capacity reservation prices in March?
Although average mFRR up capacity reservation prices increased by 5%, average mFRR down capacity reservation prices plummeted by 56% compared to March. This substantial drop resulted in a 50% decline in mFRR capacity reservation revenues for 2-hour BESS units, reducing their share of total revenue from 80% in March to 54% in April.
Why is the Bess index underreporting in March 2025?
