Wholesale prices for the interval covering this moment, bidding zone by bidding zone — countries with several zones appear once per zone, with its code in brackets. The average is arithmetic across zones, not weighted by demand: a small zone counts as much as a large one. The figures exclude network tariffs, excise duty and VAT.

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.

archive up to 10/11/2026, 21:00:00

The base, non-stop

23,444MW

67.5% of the week's average · the Sunday-night floor: fridges, servers, installations that never stop

The work rhythm

1,697MW

4.9% of the week's average · how much more a working night carries than a Sunday night: the shifts

The day

9,592MW

27.6% of the week's average · what exceeds the working-night floor, on average: offices, shops, homes awake

Over the last seven days consumption averaged 34,732 MW and ranged between 25,792 and 43,362 MW.

How it was measured: the median of the 02–05 hours over 8 Sunday mornings (23,444 MW) and over 32 working mornings, Tuesday to Friday (25,140 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.

How we estimated 321 g CO₂/kWh

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.

Wind SSE secures consent for Berwick Bank C cables: up to 1.8 GW, connecting at Cambois in north-east England SSE Renewables has received a marine licence from the Marine Management Organisation for the export cables of the third phase of the 4.1 GW Berwick Bank offshore wind farm. The Cambois Connection, with up to four HVDC cables and up to 1.8 GW of transmission capacity, will link the wind farm to the grid near Blyth, Northumberland. 10 Nov 2026

How the renewable share is computed

Σ(renewable sources, positive values only) / Σ(all sources, positive only).

Numerator: Biomass, Offshore wind, Onshore wind, Run-of-river hydro, Solar.

Denominator: 34,559 MW.

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.

Consumption — 24 hours

24 hours 48 hours 7 days 30 days 90 days 1 year all
