We investigate the presence of significant electricity forward risk premia, using data from three major continental European energy markets - German, Dutch and French. We introduce the risk premium in the framework of a standard electricity spot/forward unobserved factor model, and derive the implied forward price behaviour. We then assess the term-structure and time-evolution of the risk premia for each of the markets.
