AGL Energy Shares Rise 1.9% as Batteries Offset Power Price Drop
AGL Energy shares rose 1.9% as investors weighed a 47% fall in Australia’s wholesale electricity prices against the company’s ability to earn during volatility. National Electricity Market average prices fell to A$74/MWh. Batteries and flexible generators absorbed low-price power and generated higher value, including A$57 million battery EBITDA and an expectation that Liddell’s July start will lift performance.
