European Power Markets Update: Key Trends & Outlook for 2027

Live
Wednesday, 2 Dec 2026: 9 AM and 3 PM GMT

The outbreak of war between the US and Iran has highlighted European power markets' reliance on global gas markets, with prices continuing to be shaped by uncertainty around LNG supply. Europe could emerge from the winter with historically low gas storage levels, while weather and hydrological conditions have been significant drivers of power prices across the continent.

Meanwhile, renewables are having an increasingly visible impact on market dynamics. Rapid solar growth is weighing on capture rates across many markets, highlighting the growing importance of battery energy storage systems (BESS), whose deployment continues to vary significantly between countries. At the same time, onshore wind additions are lagging far behind solar capacity growth in several key European markets.

The Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) has also emerged as a key factor in European power markets in 2026, reshaping cross-border power flows between central and southeastern Europe and altering regional pricing dynamics.

In this webinar, Argus reviews the key developments that shaped European electricity markets in 2026 and examines what can be expected in 2027 and beyond.

FAQs

The webinar reviews the key developments that shaped European electricity markets in 2026 and the drivers expected to shape 2027. Argus discusses gas and LNG exposure, rapid solar growth and its impact on capture rates, battery energy storage system (BESS) deployment, CBAM's effect on cross-border power flows, and trends in power market liquidity.

European power prices remain closely linked to gas because gas-fired generation sets the marginal price during many hours. With LNG supply exposed to geopolitical risk and the possibility that Europe emerges from the coming winter with historically low gas storage, gas-market developments will continue to be a major driver of European power prices in 2027.

The EU Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) has emerged as a key factor in European power markets in 2026, reshaping cross-border power flows between central and southeastern Europe and altering regional pricing dynamics. The webinar covers how this is expected to continue into 2027 and what it means for policy, cross-border trading and compliance.

This webinar is designed for professionals working in or serving European electricity markets — including power traders, generators, utilities, grid operators, analysts, risk managers, procurement teams, policy specialists and corporate PPA buyers. It is particularly useful for anyone tracking the gas-power linkage, renewables and storage build-out, and CBAM-driven regulatory change.

The webinar runs live on Wednesday 2 December 2026, with two sessions at 09:00 GMT and 15:00 GMT to cover global time zones. After the live sessions, a recording will be available on-demand to all registrants.

Yes — the webinar is free to attend; registration is required. Everyone who registers will receive access to the on-demand recording, even if they cannot attend the live sessions on 2 December.

The webinar draws on data and insights from Argus' European Electricity coverage. For ongoing market intelligence see the Argus European Electricity service.
