Use Cases

• Energy trading desks — Pull wholesale prices and balancing market data for spread analysis and real-time position tracking
• Battery / V2G operators — Monitor FCR, aFRR, mFRR clearing prices to optimize charging schedules and bid frequency reserve markets
• Cleantech investors — Track wind/solar penetration and cross-border exchange patterns to evaluate grid integration
• Grid decarbonisation researchers — Hourly CO2 intensity + generation mix + exchange data for lifecycle analysis
• Industrial PPA hedgers — Correlate industrial consumption patterns with wholesale price volatility

Notes

• Date filters: Required for large datasets. Without a date range, maxItems limits results from the most recent records.
• Elspotprices is discontinued: Data stops at 2025-09-30. Use DayAheadPrices for live market data.
• PowerSystemRightNow: 5-minute intervals produce ~288 records/day per area — use tight date ranges.
• No proxy needed: Public government API with no rate limiting for normal usage.
