Merit has been adjusted so that the price is only set to €3000 when there is insufficient capacity to meet inflexible demand. Previously, if the most expensive dispatchable/flexible producer was fully-loaded, we'd treat that as a deficit. That's not correct as we now have flexible consumers; it's possible for the most expensive dispatchable to be fully loaded without this being a loss of load event.
These screenshots were taken from a local scenario, and may not exactly match the version on production. In my scenario, the number of hours at €3000 exactly matches the number of blackout hours (which is to be expected since a blackout is inflexible demand > production).
