March came to an end with the cost of generating electricity at 283 euros per megawatt hour. Prices during the month were the highest ever, with a few days when the cost of electricity soared to 544 euros/MWh, and occasional peaks of nearly 700 euros/MWh.
At this time last year the cost was 45 euros/MWh, which means it has risen by 528 per cent in 12 months.
Gas prices also reached a record high, reaching 227 euros/MWh because of the situation with Russia.
