This system, in use since the start of the liberalisation of electricity markets in the 1990s, works as a continuous auction, ensuring that electricity sources with the lowest cost of production are used to meet demand first. All suppliers bidding in this auction get paid the same price, namely the price that balances demand and supply.

As the coronavirus struck the global economy earlier this year, demand for oil dropped by more than a fifth and prices collapsed. Since spring 2020, oil and gas has seen one bombshell after another, and the impacts are adding up. Many sources now suggest that oil demand has already passed its peak.
