FRANKFURT, June 18 (Reuters) - European spot electricity prices on Wednesday fell amid pressure on wholesale markets ahead of Thursday's Corpus Christi holiday in parts of the region, which also weighed on usage on the following Friday.

LSEG analysis also pointed to higher solar and wind output, and to higher hard-coal generation availability.

Germany's day-ahead baseload contract dropped by 25.1% to 58 euros per megawatt hour (MWh)($66.79) at 0745 GMT.

French day-ahead baseload was 1% down at 52 euros. The country does not observe the holiday.

German Friday delivery saw a bid price of 56 euros compared with the previous day-two close at 74.8 euros.

On the supply side, wind power generation in Germany is expected to rise by 6.5 gigawatts to 14.9 GW on Thursday.

French nuclear availability was steady at 69% of installed capacity.

Power demand was seen down 6.5 gigawatts (GW) in Germany on Thursday, hitting 45.9 GW, while in France, it edged up by 400 MW to 46 GW.

Temperatures were due to gain 1.5 degrees Celsius on average next week over Wednesday levels at a time of year when power demand is increasingly ruled by the timing and intensity of power-driven air conditioning use.

Along the forward curve, German year-ahead baseload inched up by 0.4% to 93 euros/MWh while the French equivalent was 0.6% up at 67.1 euros/MWh.

In the European carbon market, the benchmark contract nudged up 0.3% to 74.85 euros a metric ton.

Spanish grid operator REE's failure to calculate the correct mix of energy was one of the factors hindering the country's grid's ability to cope with a surge in voltage that led to the massive blackout across Iberia on April 28, a government investigation concluded on Tuesday.

The government said it would push to further integrate the peninsula with the European grid. ($1 = 0.8684 euros) (Reporting by Vera Eckert; Editing by XXX)
