. This page is rebuilt when the daily price library is deployed.
How fresh the source is
Prices are 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 a whole bidding zone (no region or town). Only zones that Energy-Charts publishes under CC BY 4.0 are included, so Spain, Portugal and Sweden are not available. Prices can be negative. Day-ahead only. 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.
