How fresh the source is
Half-hourly prices appear within hours of each trading period and are read on each request (cached up to 30 minutes)
Limits
Wholesale exchange prices in pounds per MWh (not euro), not retail: a household or business bill adds network charges, taxes, levies and supplier margin. One price for Great Britain (England, Scotland and Wales), not Northern Ireland. Only the APX provider reports volume; the record count is half-hours, not separate trades. Prices can be negative.
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.
