Montel recently reported on LevelTen Energy’s latest European Solar PPA Price Index, highlighting a sharp year-on-year decline in solar PPA prices across Europe. LevelTen Energy has been a client of Wise Up PR for a number of years.
The article examined how oversupply, price cannibalisation, and widening gaps between solar and wind markets are reshaping the continent’s renewable energy landscape. Published on 23 October 2025, the piece outlined how the LevelTen European solar PPA Price Index fell to EUR 34.25/MWh, down 19.4% year on year and 3% quarter on quarter. The reporter also explored how rapid solar capacity additions continue to outpace demand, pushing down wholesale prices during peak generation hours and eroding revenues for standalone solar projects, particularly in Germany and Spain.
The article highlighted LevelTen Energy’s data-led insight into these divergent trends, reinforcing its role as a trusted source of market intelligence for developers, corporate buyers, and energy investors navigating an increasingly complex PPA environment.

Quoted: How Our Client Was Featured
“The LevelTen European solar PPA Price Index, which averages prices across different markets, ended the three months through September at EUR 34.25/MWh, down 19.4% from a year earlier and 3% from the previous quarter.
PPAs linked to wind projects bucked the trend despite widespread market pressures, with the so-called P25 Continental Index climbing 1.4% year on year to EUR 52.75/MWh.
The divergent trends reflected fundamental shifts in the European renewable markets, with solar capacity additions continuing to outpace demand, creating oversupply pressures that depress wholesale prices during peak generation hours, the company said.
This “cannibalisation effect”, which occurs when renewables produce power at the same time driving power prices lower, has hit standalone solar projects in Germany and Spain, where negative pricing periods have eroded project profitability, LevelTen said.”
