Belgian Power Financial refers to the financially settled Belgian baseload electricity futures traded on ICE Endex, with monthly, quarterly, and calendar-year contracts that settle against the Belgian day-ahead price, quoted in euros per MWh and converted here to US dollars. They are used by utilities, industrial consumers, and traders to hedge electricity purchases and sales, to fix budgets for energy-intensive plants, and to manage portfolio risk. Because gas-fired plants and carbon allowances set the marginal price in many hours, this market follows gas and carbon prices, nuclear availability, solar and wind output, and cross-border flows. Gas and carbon prices, nuclear availability and renewable output, and winter demand and cross-border flows are what drive prices in this market.

Belgian Power Financial Price Forecast for 2026

The outlook for Belgian Power Financial through the end of 2026 stays elevated. The curve is steeply backwardated, with Cal-27 near EUR 143, Cal-28 near EUR 102, and Cal-29 near EUR 89 per MWh, as the market prices winter gas risk and tight supply in the near term.
