What do the official wholesale electricity prices say for Germany in Germany?

Wholesale electricity prices in Germany, from Bundesnetzagentur | SMARD.de. This source is answered live, so the page shows how to ask, not a number.

Prices recorded in official records of completed sales. Asking prices are never used.

ProofPrice reads Bundesnetzagentur | SMARD.de when you ask, so the answer is always the latest published. It comes with its period, its source and its licence; a range built from records is given only when at least 5 records sit behind it.

Where this comes from

Source
SMARD market data: day-ahead wholesale electricity price, Germany/Luxembourg, published by Bundesnetzagentur | SMARD.de
Licence
CC BY 4.0 (SMARD data use page: data may be used freely with the credit "Bundesnetzagentur | SMARD.de")
Attribution
Source: Bundesnetzagentur | SMARD.de. Licensed under CC BY 4.0. Medians, ranges and counts are own calculations by ProofPrice from the hourly prices.
How fresh the source is
Hourly prices, published the day before delivery (around 13:00 Central European Time); ProofPrice reads them on each request (cached up to 30 minutes)
Limits
Wholesale exchange prices, not retail: a household or business bill adds grid fees, taxes, levies and supplier margin. One price per hour for the whole Germany/Luxembourg zone (no region or town). Prices can be negative when there is more supply than demand. Day-ahead only; intraday and futures markets are not included. The record count is hours, not separate trades.
Rule
A figure built from records is shown only when at least 5 records sit behind it; official statistics are shown as such, with their reference period. See how we earn trust and the method.
