Over the last 30 days Switzerland averaged €241.89/MWh. The same 30 days a year earlier averaged €107.12/MWh — €134.77 more.
The comparison is against the same weeks a year earlier rather than the previous month, because electricity is seasonal: measuring September against August would measure the calendar rather than the market.
