Ten years later, Xiaomi has recovered the smartphone crown in China. And he has done it more huawei than ever

by

Ten years later, Xiaomi has recovered a crown that had been taken away: that of his native country. The company has just exceeded Huawei and is, at least in this first quarter of 2025, The first mobile brand in China. The key to get it, curiously, is increasingly Huawei. An overwhelming annual growth. Regarding the same quarter of 2023, Xiaomi has grown no less than 40%. Huawei does it in 12%, and I live in 2%. In total, the company sent 13.3 million phones in its native country, very close to 13 million Huawei. These figures make Xiaomi recover a first position he did not enjoy for a decade. Its scenario is favorable: Chinese brands They are the only ones that grow in their native country, and if this Xiaomi trend will be easy to strengthen its position. The reasons for success. According to Canals, the growth of Xiaomi is helped by national subsidy policies and a rebound of the Chinese consumer consuming even more national company in full tariff war. Beyond the support of your country, analyzing Xiaomi’s strategy helps to understand its success. A quite similar to that of the rival that follows more closely: Huawei. Xiaomi has a price of price very consistent in China through the different distributors, and a product diversification that drives you to continue growing as a brand. Its product portfolio has long stopped focusing only on the mobile: they are introduced into the electric carthe Aiot world, and especially in China they have a very interconnected portfolio with Hyperos. Xiaomi is stop selling only product: Sell ​​ecosystem. Boom (for a long time) of national brands, solid product strategy, Pricing aggressive and a strong ecosystem. It is no accident: the two brands that grow the most in China and lead this market bet on these pillars. The importance of AI. Deepseek is having a fundamental role in Chinese mobile sales. While in Europe we bet on Gemini and Chatgpt on Android, in China the integration with Depseek is quite deep. From Canalys they point out that the arrival of this model of AI is reviving the interest of consumers, and that mobile phones already represent 22% of shipments in continental China. In the case of Xiaomi, Depseek is integrated into Hyperos to enhance its Super Xiaoai assistant, integrating the functions of deep thinking (R1) within the operating system itself. The current Chinese podium. After Xiaomi’s victory, photography in China is the following, at least in the first quarter of the year. Xiaomi, 19% market share Huawei, 18% market share Oppo, 15% market share LIVE, 10.4 MARKET FEE Apple, 9.2% market share In full tariff war, Apple will have it difficult to grow in China. In fact, in this first period of the year, its fall is 8%. On the side of Chinese brands, Oppo is the only one that does not grow. Xiaomi, Huawei and Vivo start the year in positive. An independent market. The presence of Chinese mobiles in Europe is remarkable. So much that Xiaomi, Vivo and Oppo occupy the third, fourth and fifth position of the podium in the first quarter of 2025, Behind Samsung and Apple. But the Chinese market is different. It’s a Market with special weight of national technology, and a hyperdigitized retail channel that allows it to be even more competitive in price. The context of tariff crisis will only push national brands, throwing the doubt what will happen with Apple that has been losing ground in China for years.

Apple anticipates 900 million dollars of tariff impact. It is equivalent to the cost of producing almost two million iPhone

by

Apple has released the financial bomb that Wall Street was waiting for: 900 million dollars in extra costs For Trump’s tariffs. The figure, although considerable, is less devastating than feared by analysts, a possible sign of the stealthy preparation that Apple had been executing for months. The backdrop. Apple has exceeded expectations with 95.4 billion dollars in income, but The commercial war Draw a complicated horizon. Actions, in fact, fell 4% after closing. Not because of the present, above the expected, but for what will arrive after June. The market was waiting for clear answers about the future from Apple, but instead received well -calculated evasive. The money trail. Apple has also reduced its sharing repurchase program by 10,000 million compared to the previous year. It is the typical financial movement that goes unnoticed between tariff holders, but betrays a defensive position: Apple is accumulating effective before the commercial storm that is coming. The company that presumed from its treasury now protects it more than ever. Between the lines. “I don’t want to predict the future because I’m not sure what will happen to tariffs,” Cook said in The subsequent call with investors. It is not very common for a CEO to expose its uncertainty, and even less if we talk about Cook, known for its meticulous planning. Perhaps it is a symptom of the real problem: neither an all Apple can foresee the turns of Trump’s tariff policy. Emergency logistics reorganization, diverting iPhone manufacture towards India And from the rest of the products to Vietnam, it is impressive, but improvised: a plan B for which the deadlines have had to be accelerated. At stake. The battle goes beyond 900 million in a quarter: it is for the future of Apple’s business model. It is the sale of premium products with margins far superior to the average of its sector manufactured in Asia. If India is 5% or 8% more expensive than China, as analysts anticipate, it could lead to a blow to profitability. And would go far beyond a quarter. It is the first act of the threat of change for the technological value chain. In Xataka | Apple loses the war against Epic.

How to continue using Windows 10 for 7 years after the end of support with this Microsoft version with IoT Enterprise LTSC

by

Let’s explain How can you keep using Windows 10 For another additional 7 years. He Windows 10 support end It culminates in October of this 2025, which means that it will cease to have maintenance with security updates and will become very dangerous to use it. Many cybercriminals may have detected vulnerabilities and are waiting to exploit them until Microsoft abandons it, so that there is no solution. When the end of support comes, the operating system dies. However, There is a very little known version of Windows 10 call IoT Enterprise LTSCthat it will have a more widespread support, although it is not for everyone. However, we are going to talk about her to know this option a little more. What is Windows 10 IoT Enterprise LTSC Windows 10 has two versions aimed at all users, which are the Home and the Pro. However, there are Other versions aimed at specific sectorssuch as Enterprise for companies and LTSC channels (Long-Term Servicing Channel), aimed at critical environments that need an increased support. Long-Term Servicing Channel means long-term service channel. And this is the context of Windows 10 IoT Enterprise LTSC. It’s about A version designed for systems such as ATMspoint of sale or medical devices. As the name implies, it is aimed at IoT companies, the Internet of Things. One may think that this is a version of Windows far removed from the conventional for users, although It looks like any other of Windows 10. It has specific characteristics, that is true, but these seem even positive for users. Microsoft does not actively promote this version In front of the general public, since its model is designed and oriented to large companies and hardware manufacturers. This means that no licenses are directly sold by Microsoft, although we will tell you how to get them. Windows 10 IoT Enterprise LTSC features Then we leave you The main differentiating characteristics of Windows 10 IoT Enterprise LTSC, those that make this version very different from the “normal” of Windows 10. Support until 2032: Windows 10 Home and Pro will die and run out of support in 2025, and some business versions will expand it in exchange for paying. However, the security updates of this version will remain until January 13, 2032. Optimized performance: This version has no pre -installed applications or additional components of Microsoft. You do not have the Microsoft Store, neither One Drive nor Cortana, nor widgets or other programs. It is like a much cleaner version designed to consume less RAM and less resources, so it works faster and in older computers. Greater stability: This version of Windows 10 does not receive updates with new functions, but simply security patches and critical corrections. This is so to minimize the risk of errors, so they are much more stable versions. Less requirements: As we have said, this Windows is designed for smaller and less powerful devices, so almost any device will be able to install it, and do not need additional or specific hardware as it happens with Windows 11. You don’t need Microsoft account: One of the characteristics of modern Windows versions is that you need to log in with your Microsoft account when installing the operating system. However, this version allows you to operate with a local account, and you don’t even need to connect to the Internet to use it. Get Windows 1o IoT LTSC As we have told you a little higher, Microsoft does not publicly sell licenses of Windows 1o Iot LTSC, since it is a version aimed at companies. This means that you will not be able to buy them directly from Microsoft anywhere. However, There may be legitimate resellers offered by keys in a valid way, and in many cases for domestic use. Here, you will need to be patient and search in stores where Windows activation codes are revealed to search for this specifically. There are other more risky methods, such as using activation applications or cracks such as Massgravewhich allow the activation of Windows LTSC versions for free. However, these methods infringing the terms of the licenses and may leave your computer out of service, so it is not recommended to install it. To install this Windowsyou can download a free evaluation ISO from the Microsoft Evaluation Centerwhich will allow you to use it for 90 days. Once this time has passed, you will need an activation key. In Xataka Basics | The best free applications and tools to clean Windows 10 without format

Now we know what the US Army did in Finland. Russia is expanding its troops on its border with Europe

by

In April there was a paradox that we count. While Finland again became the “happier” nation From the planet, a United States army had reached its borders to prepare for “the worst.” Thus began a simulation where Finland’s defense forces and a Washington operation were trained together for a eventual invasion. If there was any questions about who the enemy was, Russia has just cleared it. Remove silent. I told it in Exclusive the Wall Street Journal supported by the satellite data that he had achieved. While much of international attention is still focused on war in Ukraine, Europe begins to worry to a series of strategic movements of the Russian army that, without making almost noise, are redefining the military balance of the continent. In the Russian city of Petrozavodsk, about 160 kilometers from the border with Finland, military engineers work on the expansion of bases and the creation of a new headquarters that will house tens of thousands of soldiers in the coming years, many of which today fight in Ukraine. These troops, according to Intelligence sources Western, they are not designed for the current war, but for future confrontations with NATO. Moscow has intensified recruitment, modernized rail infrastructure in border areas and duplicated its military budget, already exceeds 6% of GDP. President Putin has ordered that the size of the Russian armed forces increase until 1.5 million troopsand although publicly denies expansionist aspirations, its government continues to give contradictory signs, including official statements that affirm the need to prepare for a possible confrontation With the Atlantic Alliance. Rejuvenate the army. It is one of the consequences. The rebound of military spending has promoted an unprecedented acceleration in weapons production. Before the invasion of Ukraine, Russia manufactured around 40 T-90m tanks a year. Now produce almost 300although many are not sent to the front, but are reserved in national territory. Artillery and ammunition production has also increased, and Russian drones have won in quality and volume. Thus, the Moscow army, far from collapse, is being reconfigured faster than most analysts had planned, with new units, equipment and a constant rotation of troops that allows to maintain pressure in Ukraine while other formations are prepared on Russian soil. In fact, some European intelligence services alert A “B” scenario: If a fire is achieved in Ukraine, Russia could be in a position to launch a large -scale war in Europe within five years, or even before if you perceive weakness in NATO cohesion. Tensions on the eastern flank. No doubt, Russian military strengthening has unleashed immediate reactions in Baltic and Poland countries, which have already Started to reinforce Its borders with ditches, antipersonnel mines and anti -tanks, the acquaintances as “dragon teeth”. Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania and Poland have abandoned international treaties on mines, and several governments consider plausible that Russia seeks to test the solidity of NATO through a limited incursion in a member state with Russian population, as Estonia. To this is added the concern caused by covert operations attributed to the Russian Intelligence Servicessuch as sabotage attempts and murders in Western Europe. Hence, many analysts warn that the Kremlin could bet on a lower provocation that fractures consensus within the alliance, especially if you perceive internal divisions or lack of coordinated response. Territorial strategy For its part, The Journal remembered that Putin has resorted to the historical legacy of the Russian military force (which beat Napoleon and Hitler) to justify the war in Ukraine and his ambition to recover influence on former allies who have leaned towards the West. The Russian government has reorganized its internal military structure creating new districts Around Moscow and St. Petersburg, and has increased logistics cooperation with Belarus, its main ally and basis of operations in the current war. In the Leningrad Military District, which borders Estonia, Latvia and Finland, medium -sized brigades are being transformed into divisions of up to 10,000 troopsand barracks, hospitals, warehouses and new railway routes are being built that connect with Norway, Finland and the south of St. Petersburg. Finland, who historically has tried to avoid tensions with Russia but is now part of NATO, Observe carefully The renewal of ancient border steps and the construction of railway headers that would allow the passage of mechanized forces, with direct implications for their national security. New social elite. Explained the medium that one of the pillars of this military reconstruction is the huge Increased recruitmentpowered by Financial incentives that in some cases exceed $ 20,000 to sign a contract. These sums far exceed Average annual income In many Russian regions, and have allowed a constant flow of new soldiers (between 30,000 and 40,000 per month According to estimates) that allows Russia to maintain its presence in Ukraine without exhausting its strategic reserve. Not just that. In addition, the medium exposed another measure that we have already counted a few weeks ago: veterans are receiving Extended benefitsas positions in local governments and seats in Parliament, consolidating the military estate as a New National Elite. The new recruits will be mostly intended for the units that are deployed at the border with NATO, and for them the new armament is reserved, while the Ukrainian front continues to receive reconditioned Soviet material. Russia’s next strategic military exercises, called Zapadthey will focus on these border regions, and they are expected to serve as a demonstration of force addressed to both NATO and internal public opinion. New power architecture. In summary, Russia is betting very strongly that her military resurgence, combined with a possible Western fatigue before the Ukrainian conflict, returns her back A seat in the table where new security rules in Europe are defined. Although figures like Trump They discard the possibility that Russia has ambitions beyond Ukraine, the facts Described in the Journal On land and warnings of multiple European intelligence agencies suggest otherwise. If you want also, Moscow seems to trust that an NATO divided, uncoordinated or weakened by internal conflicts will be forced to negotiate from a disadvantage … Read more

Like coconut oil, it became the last trend of “thinning effortlessly”

by

One more fashion to lose weight is virilizing on social networks, but this time comes in the form of saturated fat. Just look for “fasting coconut oil” on Tiktok to watch thousands of videos repeating the same formula Magic to lose weight. Meanwhile, in Spain, digestive diseases do not stop growing – they are already the second cause of hospitalization, According to the INE– And anxiety and intestinal imbalance They are increasingly common. What does one thing have to do with the other? Maybe much more than it seems. A morning phenomenon. You just need to slide a few seconds in Tiktok to run into the new welfare ritual: a spoonful of coconut oil, taken on an empty stomach and without mixing with anything. The videos, which accumulate millions of visualizations under labels how #Coconutoilinthemoring either #OACEEDECOCOthey repeat a narrative that is has become In dogma: “Since I take it I feel more energy”, “my stomach is more flat” or “it is my secret to purify the body.” Some of these videos even include a before and after With visual results of abdominal fat loss, improvement of intestinal transit or luminous skin. Everything seems to fit into that promise of immediate, easy and effortless health. And this, of course, is part of the problem. This phenomenon is not born from nothing. It is the 2025 version of a trend that has already been seen with Water with lemon, The intermittent fasting, The superfoods Or, more recently, type drugs Ozempic. What changed is not the message – calling effortless – but the wrapper. In social networks, especially in Tiktok, thinness remains an aspiring ideal disguised as health. Just explore hashtags how #Skinnytok To find thousands of videos of young people sharing tips to “look thinner”: from visual tricks to restrictive diets that barely reach 1000 calories a day. This is a symptom of how the algorithm is rewarding normative bodies and extreme habits, while penalizing more critical speeches. What science says. Coconut oil is not a new or mysterious product. Its use is has studied for yearsespecially in relation to cardiovascular health, the metabolism of fats and their antimicrobial capacity. Some studies, as published in Nutrition ResearchThey suggest that moderate coconut oil consumption could improve the lipid profile, increasing HDL cholesterol (the “good”) and partly reducing triglycerides, thanks to its concentration of medium chain fatty acids. Antifungal and antibacterial properties have also been documented, mainly due to the lauric acid, which represents almost 50% of its composition. Nutritionist Sandra Moñino, an expert in intestinal microbiota, has explained in the Spanish that coconut oil can help against certain fungi such as Candida Albicansbut has warned: “You have to remember that it is a saturated fat. It has specific benefits, but it should not be consumed without control or as a daily routine.” For its part, also the nutritionist Emma G., active in Tiktok, He has nuanced Even more: “Yes, it can be beneficial for some people, but it is not something that everyone should do. Many people have had digestive discomfort after introducing it on an empty stomach, and that is not counted.” In his video – which already exceeds 100,000 visualizations – he added a clear message: “There is no food that only makes you lose weight. It all depends on the set of your habits.” Other uses. Beyond the oral use on an empty stomach, coconut oil has been appearing in other corners of the world years Wellness. The one who is now in a trend is the Oil Pullinga Hindu practice that consists of rinseing the mouth with oil for about 10-15 minutes before brushing your teeth. The issue is that they say it reduces bacteria, improves the health of gums and prevents caries. However, like They have explained Several experts in dentistry for the New York Times does not replace traditional dental hygiene, although it can help reduce the number of bacteria such as Streptococcus mutans. Another recurring use is like Vaginal intimate or moisturizing lubricant. Here there are also lights and shadows: it can be effective in relieving dryness, but latex condoms weakens and can alter the vaginal pH, which makes it advisable in some cases, As warned in Healthline. And in cosmetics It is almost omnipresent: hair, lips, body, masks … its emollient properties and its antibacterial effect make it useful for some skins, but its use is not universal. In fatty skin or with a tendency to acne, for example, you can obstruct pores and worsen the situation. Once again, the pattern is repeated: a product with some potential, but to which universal virtues are assigned without taking into account individual differences or context. Beyond the ritual. Coconut oil can have interesting properties, and its use in certain contexts may be justified. But turning it into a universal routine or the last viral solution to lose weight is, at least, a dangerous simplification. As with so many trends that circulate through networks, which begins as an individual experience ends up transformed into mass recommendation without filter, without context and, often, without solid evidence. Health – the real one, not that of Tiktok – is not built with shortcuts or with miraculous tablespoons. It is built with information, sustainable habits and decisions that have more to do with care than with the pressure to fit into an aesthetic ideal.

You can no longer buy anything from there to be sent direct from China

by

The turn is radical. Temu has stopped showing foreign sellers products to US users. In other words, you can no longer buy items that are sent directly from China, just The model that converted to the platform in a phenomenon of electronic commerce in that country. The change occurs in full commercial shaking: the Trump government has eliminated Customs exemption for packages of less than $ 800 from China. “Temu has recently migrated its operations in the United States to a local distribution model. This means that all sales in that country are now managed by local vendors, and orders are processed from the territory itself,” a spokesman explained to Wired. Goodbye to direct access to Chinese sellers. The immediate consequence is clear: American buyers can no longer directly acquire products from China, which is a complete turn with respect to the usual operation of the platform in that market. Sales are now in the hands of local vendors, and the available catalog is limited exclusively to articles stored in US territory. A new label: “Local warehouse”. All products available in the American app now carry the “local warehouse” label. Although many of them remain manufactured in China, they are physically stored in the United States, which exempts them from the new customs tariffs. This nuance is key: Temu has not eliminated the products of Chinese origin, but it has eliminated the possibility of buying them directly from the country of origin, breaking the traditional channel that had allowed him to offer such low prices. The attempt to show tariffs. Before blocking, Temu came to show import positions over 100 % of the original price. On their website, it was read: “Imported articles to the United States may be subject to import positions. These charges cover all customs processes and costs, including tariffs paid to the authorities in your name.” That section is still visible, but has lost practical sense, since now no user in the United States can buy products that are sent from outside the country. Temu’s strategy to make visible the impact of tariffs apparently did not prosper. Manufactured in China, stored in the United States. Although the direct channel has broken, Chinese products are still present. Many of the current articles were imported before the entry into force of the new standards. But that stock is limited. According to Chinellerseverything indicates that it will be the sellers themselves who will assume the import procedures and the management of the new tariffs, presumably transferring them in part or in their entirety at the price that consumers pay. The impact of the tariff war. The change of model is not understood without the context. At the beginning of the month, the Trump administration raised tariffs up to 145 % For certain imports from China. Today, May 2, the Elimination of the exemption known as “of Minimis”which allowed to import products of less than $ 800 without paying taxes. A blow that goes beyond Temu. According to CNNmany low -income Americans used Temu as a way of access to affordable products. That access has now closed. The platform faces the greatest challenge since its arrival in the US market. The model that made it grow has come down, and it is not clear if the measure will be temporary or definitive. What is certain is that the commercial environment has changed, and Temu will have to adapt if you want to continue competing.

A family revelation that sheds light on your personality and professional success

by

Bill Gates has been one of the most influential in the field of technology of the last four decades. However, a revelation of his youngest daughter, Phoebe Gates, has put on the table a topic rarely addressed around the founder of Microsoft: his Relationship with the autistic spectrum. Phoebe Gates, the youngest of their three childrenintervened a few days ago in the podcast ‘Call Her Daddy‘Where he told how the millionaire faced his partners, taking into account Bill Gates Asperger’s syndrome. “For the boy, terrifying. For me, it was very hilarious because my father is quite socially clumsy. As he said before, he has Asperger. So, for me, he is very funny,” explained the 22 -year -old. Phoebe’s confirmation This family anecdote Not only humanizes Bill Gates, but also publicly confirms, and precisely, what the millionaire so far He had only hinted about his condition within the autistic spectrum. “Wow, there are some patterns coincidences (between their behavior and those of the autistic spectrum)” confirmed Gates. Bill Gates I had never talked openly to have Asperger’s syndrome, although in his autobiographical book ‘Code Source: My beginnings‘, recognized that “if I grew today, they would probably be diagnosed within the autistic spectrum. Gates explained during An interview To The Wall Street Journal that, during his childhood, there was no generalized understanding about neurodiversity, and that his parents did not have resources to understand why he became obsessed with certain projects or did not capture the social signals. The founder of Microsoft explained that the term “neurodivergente” It didn’t even exist as a childand that formal tests to diagnose autistic spectrum disorders were not introduced until the 80s, when he was already an adult. The impact of Asperger’s syndrome on Gates’ career He Asperger syndrome it’s a autistic spectrum disorder characterized by difficulties in social interaction, very intense interests in specific issues and behavior patterns with an obsessive tendency. Although the term of Asperger has currently been absorbed by the general classification of the autistic spectrum disorders. It is estimated That about 1% of the world’s population is in the autistic spectrum, and the Asperger represents a significant part of these cases. Like Bill Gates, other recognized personalities have talked openly about their diagnosis. Elon Musk, for example, revealed in 2021 during Your monologuein ‘Saturday Night Live ‘ That has Asperger’s syndrome. This type of testimonies help to make visible neurological diversity and reduce social stigma, showing that people with Asperger can reach extraordinary achievements in different areas and does not incapacitate them to become the richest people in the world. Position that So much Bill Gates as Elon Musk have held. Various episodes of Bill Gates’ life can be better understood in the light of its possible diagnosis of Asperger. In An interview for Vanity Fairthe co -founder of Microsoft, Paul Alllen, explained that during his stage as a Microsoft leader, it was known for its lack of empathy towards employees who requested free time or vacations, even arriving at Monitor cars enrollment of the parking lot to control which employees were working. This attitude, although criticized, may be related to the difficulties in understanding the emotional needs of others, a common feature in the autistic spectrum. In addition, Gates showed difficulties to socialize During his university era. Steve Ballmer, who would later be CEO from Microsoft, had to insist for Gates will be related to other students. In his book, Gates acknowledged that, if not Ballmer, he would never have attended for himself the Fox Club de Harvard parties, “Tag parties, tight hands of secret hands and other archaic rules and rituals.” On the other hand, its ease for obsess and with other activities Like Buscaminaswhich came to play compulsively, also fits with the intense and repetitive interests that characterize Asperger’s syndrome. These aspects, far from being obstacles, have been a fundamental part of their professional success as and as slides The Times.

Distrust of very low prices: As we have told you a couple of points before, when the price of memory is very low, it is possible that there is a trap related to the USB standard version, or that it is even a fraud. That is why they have a high guard with especially low prices. Be careful with little known brands and stores: Try to buy in online stores that you know perfectly, and above all that have comments section. It also tries to resort to consolidated brands of USB, even if they are somewhat more expensive, because this gives you an extra security guarantee. Verify newly bought positives: When you buy an online product you have about 15 days to return. Therefore, if you buy a USB memory, it is important that you verify the amount of memory that you have promised and that it is of the right speed. The fastest type A USB have a blue plasticize that makes them recognizable, for the amount of memory you will need a specific program. How to check the storage of a USB pendrive Imagine you buy a USB of 64 GB but it really has only 32 GB. Or that has 64 GB but half are defective areas that make you lose the data you enter. How can you look at this? To do so you need a specific program that allows you to do it. We recommend you The program Validrivefree available on the web www.grc.com/validrive.htm. It is a completely free, light and very effective program. What he does is Verify the real storage of USB memories before users suffer important losses. The application weighs less than 100 kb, and is portable, so it does not require installing it. It is created for Windowsand you just have to open it and voila. Validrive performs tests of 576 regions of the device connected by USB, analyzing the real reading and writing capacity. It also shows you the results in a visual way, putting the defective areas in red, also indicating other errors. To use it, you just need to launch the application, and in the main menu click on Check USB Drive With a connected unit. Then you will begin to see the tests in real time, and then the results will be shown. You also have other alternatives such as H2TESTW (also free)a more veteran tool although it is not so fast or easy to use. In Xataka Basics | Buy a USB-C cable: 9 things to consider

It is a sign that the system needs a redesign

Last Monday, April 28, Spain, Portugal and southern France suffered a mass blackout. Given this situation many questions arose and still There is no main cause clear. However, in the following days, a paradox became evident: on May 1, the price of electricity in the wholesale market came to mark € 10 per MW/h, that is, generating electricity cost those who produced it. In negative? Negative prices arise when the supply of electricity far exceeds demand. On holidays or weekends, with low industrial activity and favorable meteorology, renewables – especially solar and wind – produce so much energy that there is nowhere to place it. As the electrical system must be in constant equilibrium between production and consumption, the generators get to pay to turn their energy on the network in order not to stop turbines or panels. According to five daysthis phenomenon is not as rare as it seems: it happens when the market is “overflowed” by the offer and cannot absorb all the electricity that is generated. So what does it mean? At the wholesale level, a negative price indicates that generators pay to produce electricity. This does not mean that the domestic consumer charges money for lighting the light, although in some indexed rates a very low or even null bill can be noted at certain times, such as They have explained In the economist. Also, for private operatorsnegative prices are a headache: they not only do not enter to produce, but they can also have to assume losses. For the electrical system, it also represents a challenge: overproduction requires a very fine management to avoid blackouts or infrastructure damage. An increasingly common phenomenon. In countries like Germany, the Netherlands or Finland They have registered Negative prices, especially in spring and autumn, when renewable production is high but demand has not yet reached its seasonal peak. This excess supply, driven by the rapid expansion of renewables, exceeds the storage capacity and flexibility of the electricity grid. The result: producers are forced to pay to inject energy into the system. While it may seem good for the consumer, it actually raises a great challenge for the stability of the electrical system. The solution to this complex problem goes through a combination of improvements in storage infrastructure, How are they doing in Finlandgreater interconnection between countries, as with Denmarkand a more dynamic management of energy demand, as the case of France and loads them in its nuclear power plants. Can it be a problem for renewables? Paradoxically, renewables – clarity for energy transition – are also victims of negative prices. When they repeat too many times: Investment in new projects deter or force production to stop, which can damage equipment or waste resources. In addition, another technical challenge is evidenced in these scenarios: the stability of the network. The thermal plants contributed “inertia”, that is, a way of sustaining the balance of the system. Today, technologies such as Grid forming And synthetic inertia try to compensate for that lack of backup, but they are still in deployment phase, According to the economist. Symptom of something else. Negative prices are not an anecdote: they are a signal. They indicate that the electrical system needs to be urgently transformed to integrate more renewable without collapsing. It is necessary A storage improvement, Intelligent and flexible networksand A reform in the electricity market that adapts to the new paradigm.
