Physical cross-border flows

Electricity measured crossing every border in October 2026, valued at this zone's day-ahead price.

Physical exports 3,015,635 MWh estimated market value 687,951,297 €, at 228.13 €/MWh
Physical imports 2,382,924 MWh estimated market value 520,955,184 €, at 218.62 €/MWh
Estimated market value 166,996,113 € the month averaged 222.35 €/MWh
Border with Out, MWh at €/MWh In, MWh at €/MWh Difference €
Italy 2,226,328 216.99 98,862 267.97 456,604,563
France 33,883 213.80 1,364,165 222.16 −295,821,772

Austria 152,116 258.51 224,388 201.51 −5,892,219

166,996,113 € for 632,711 MWh that stayed in the country works out at 263.94 € per megawatt-hour, in a month that averaged 222.35.

  • Energy that stayed, at the month's average price −140,684,394 84.2%
  • What came in arrived above that average −8,892,524 5.3%
  • What went out left below it −17,419,194 10.4%

The first line is energy the country needed and got. The other two — 26,311,719 € together — come not from how much moved but from when: cheap hours to sell in, expensive hours to buy in. That is the price of a timing mismatch, not a loss.

Official validation AWAITING OFFICIAL ANRE DATA

Physical cross-border flows and commercial electricity trades measure different phenomena. ANRE data is shown as an independent official benchmark and should not be interpreted as an exact reconciliation.

All months, every border

Not an invoice. Cross-border electricity is not sold country to country: the markets are coupled and the physical flow is the outcome of a shared auction. These figures value the measured flow at this zone's own day-ahead price, so both directions can be compared on the same scale.

Flows are measured, quarter-hour by quarter-hour; hourly borders are spread across the four quarters they cover, so every megawatt-hour meets the price that was actually in force. Energy entering the country is not the same as energy consumed here — some of it passes through.

What balancing cost, in the last 24 hours

The source for this country does not publish this dataset. Nothing is estimated in its place.

Who consumes: the base, the work rhythm, the day

An estimate from the shape of the consumption curve, not a measurement by customer category — that is not published in real time. Three parts: what never stops, what runs in shifts on working days, what switches on during the day.

Over the last seven days consumption averaged 7,406 MW and ranged between 3,343 and 9,211 MW.

How it was measured: the median of the 02–05 hours over 8 Sunday mornings (6,441 MW) and over 32 working mornings, Tuesday to Friday (6,370 MW), across the last 8 weeks; the average over the last seven days. The parts are cut from one another in order and add up exactly to the average.

The parts are shapes of the curve, not customer categories: the base holds every household's fridge as well as a plant that never stops; the day holds single-shift factories too. “Industrial” and “household” would be words these data cannot defend.

This is an estimate, not a measurement. There is no official carbon-intensity measurement for this country, so we compute it from the production mix.

Σ(source generation × source factor) / Σ(generation), over positive values, with life-cycle factors.

The factors are life-cycle values — they include construction and fuel, not just combustion. That is why solar, wind and nuclear are not zero. Source: IPCC AR5 WG3, Anexa III, Tabelul A.III.2 (mediane), version 1.

Numerator: Run-of-river hydro, Solar, Hydro reservoir, Onshore wind.

Pumped-storage hydro and waste are not counted as renewable — the first would double-count energy, the second is partly fossil and its biogenic fraction cannot honestly be separated.
