European power prices surged past €600 this evening as wind generation collapsed, per Bloomberg.

The price spike reflects a severe shortfall in renewable energy supply, with officials warning of potential blackouts, reports finance.biggo.com.

Germany's energy grid operator noted that the shortfall was exacerbated by cold weather and low wind speeds, according to briefs.co.
