These are wholesale day-ahead clearing prices for the bidding zone, excluding grid fees, taxes and levies. They are the reference for spot-indexed supply, PPA settlement, battery dispatch and the starting point for intraday positions.
Negative prices are not an error. When wind and solar produce a lot and demand is low, the price turns negative, because shutting production down would cost more than carrying on.
Until 30 September 2018 Austria, Germany and Luxembourg formed a joint bidding zone. Since then AT has been independent, and prices diverge as soon as the border with Germany is congested. Anyone pulling historical series across that date needs both EIC codes.
Austria trades together with its neighbours. Coupled zones move together in price as long as the interconnectors have spare capacity. All figures in EUR/MWh.
