The right-hand column compares today with the period on that row. All averages are weighted by interval duration, so the days before 1 October 2025 — when the market worked hourly — do not weigh wrongly.


Comparison with the neighbours

Country€/MWh today Difference%Link
Greece 232.29 −72.80 ↓ −23,9% interconnected
North Macedonia 284.67 −20.42 ↓ −6,7% interconnected

Serbia 292.65 −12.44 ↓ −4,1% interconnected
Türkiye 63.19 −241.90 ↓ −79,3% interconnected

interconnected means ENTSO-E publishes physical flow between the two countries' zones — that is, there really is a cable with energy running through it. neighbour on the map means only a shared border. The two do not coincide: Norway and the Netherlands do not touch, yet have a subsea cable.
