This week saw lower renewable energy and coal availability, causing increased use of hydro, gas, and oil generation. Solar production was more unstable than the past week, with 49% curtailment on Friday. Wind production was lower in the North-Central region, with a minimum plant factor of 1% on Wednesday. Marginal costs in Alto Jahuel increased to USD 77/MWh from USD 56/MWh last week due to these factors. Electricity demand and prices dropped on Friday through the Easter holiday weekend.
