The chain
Power demand and relative fuel costs change which plants run. That changes CO2 intensity. That changes EUA demand. Outages and renewables sit in the same chain.
What to watch with price
Clean spark / dark context, REMIT outages, and Day+1 power emissions. Price alone without mix is an incomplete read.
FAQ
- Do high power prices always raise EUA?
- Not always. High prices with strong renewables or nuclear can cut intensity. Follow tons, not the power headline alone.
