* Wind power supply on Monday seen down by two thirds

* Temperatures, power usage to stay broadly unchanged

* Solar, thermal supply seen increasing

* Curve prices nudge up, fuels prices mixed

FRANKFURT, Feb 14 (Reuters) - European prompt power prices for early next week rose on Friday on forecasts of sharply lower wind power supply. Forward prices edged higher on the effects of weaker gas and oil and steady to higher coal and carbon.

The German baseload power contract for Monday delivery gained 3.50 to 37.50 euros ($51) per megawatt-hour (MWh)

Thomson Reuters Point Carbon data showed German wind power should decline by two-thirds by Monday to 3.4 gigawatts (GW), compared with levels on Friday. There will be strong wind over the weekend but this will arrive in a low demand period.

The price effect for Monday was mitigated by a simultaneous forecast for German solar supply to rise by around 1 GW over Friday to 3.8 GW, a relatively high number for the time of year.

Temperatures across the region were expected to change little through Monday and into next week in a mild winter scenario that is also likely to keep consumption steady at low levels.

Thermal supply meanwhile is comfortable - German and Austrian power plant capacity is likely to rise by 1.9 percent by Feb. 21, data on operators' planning intentions from the European Energy Exchange's (EEX) website showed. ID:nL5N0LJ26Y

Along the power forwards curve, the German benchmark price for the year-ahead, Cal '15 baseload, was 10 cents up on the day at 36.65 euros/MWh. TRDEBYZ5 The equivalent French position traded 15 cents higher to 43.15 euros, according to Thomson Reuters OTC data. TRFRBYZ5

German utility MVV said its profit in the last quarter of 2013, which represents the company's fiscal first quarter, dropped by 11 percent, partly blaming the mild winter to date. ID:nL5N0LJ0KY ($1 = 0.7317 euros)
