The EFE calculation and method cited in the report were not independently reviewed and reproduced, so the period averages below are presented only as Lusa's account of EFE's calculation. According to Lusa, EFE used OMIE market information to calculate an average of €147.6/MWh from September 1 through October 10, 2026, the opening stretch of meteorological autumn. The report says this is below the €168.1/MWh and €238.2/MWh averages for the same September 1–October 10 periods in 2021 and 2022, respectively, but higher than other comparable periods since the market began operating in 1998. The historical period calculation has not been independently rerun. Lusa discusses the price level in the context of greater use of gas-fired generation this year and a lower renewable contribution than in previous years. These are market explanations reported by the outlet; the underlying generation data, causal assessment and average-price methodology were not independently verified here. Wholesale market prices are not the same measure as household tariffs or consumer bills. Official OMIE hourly day-ahead files for Portugal were also reviewed; they can verify hourly prices for specific delivery days. Those daily files do not verify EFE's September 1–October 10 Iberian average, comparisons with earlier years or Lusa's causal explanations. ## Data ### Source not verified: Historical market comparison reported by Lusa Source not verified: This table summarizes only Lusa's account of EFE's calculation; the averages were not independently recalculated.
