In the month of July, electricity demand was 30,083 GWh, down compared to the same month of the previous year (-3.3%) and compared to July 2021 (-1.1%). There was also a drop in foreign exchange (-8.8%) compared to the same month of 2022. In 2023, electricity demand (180,594 GWh) decreased compared to the same period in 2022 (-5.0%) and compared to the cumulative figure for 2021 (-2.8%).
The value of electricity demand was achieved with the same number of working days (21) and with an average monthly temperature approximately 0.3°C lower than July last year. When adjusted for seasonal and temperature effects, the figure represents a -2.6% variation. The annual trend for July 2023 (compared to July 2022) decreased by 1.2% with raw data.
In July 2023, 47.2% of the electricity demand was met via production from Non- Renewable Energy Sources, 38.4% via Renewable Energy Sources and the remainder via foreign exchange. In 2023, electricity demand was 180,594 GWh, 47.2% of which was met via production from Non-Renewable Energy Sources, 35.9% from Renewable Energy Sources and the remainder from the foreign balance.
In July, production from Renewable Energy Sources increased (+18.7%) compared to the same month of the previous year. Specifically, there was an increase in
renewable hydroelectric production (+32.4%), solar production (+12.0%) and wind production (+31.8%).
In 2023, the operating capacity of renewables increased by 2,956 MW. This value is 1,515 MW higher (+105%) compared to the same period of the previous year.
The July total for withdrawal programmes on the DAM was approximately €3.1 billion, up 25% compared to the previous month and down 76% compared to July 2022.
In July, the spread between average bid-up and bid-down prices on the MSD was
- 127/MWh, up by 21% compared to the previous month and down by 49% compared to July 2022. Total volumes increased compared to the previous month (+36%).
In July, the spread between bid-up and bid- down prices on the Balancing Market was
- 120/MWh, down on the previous mont (€ 142/MWh) and down compared to July
2022 (€ 430/MWh; -72%). Total volumes increased compared to the previous month (+25%).

The value of electricity demand was achieved with the same number of working days (21) and with an average monthly temperature approximately 0.3°C lower than July last year. When adjusted for seasonal and temperature effects, the figure represents a -2.6% variation.
In the first seven months of the year, national demand decreased by 5.0% compared to the corresponding period in 2022 (-4.0% adjusted value).
The monthly data for July 2023, adjusted for calendar and temperature effects, recorded an increase (+1.2%) in electricity demand compared to June 2023.
Demand - seasonality adjusted
The value, adjusted for seasonal, calendar and temperature effects, shows positive cyclical change (+1.2%).
