What the price represents

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.

Czechia in the coupled European market

Czechia is one bidding zone. The Czech day-ahead market is run by OTE as part of the single European day-ahead auction; the price usually moves together with neighbouring zones as long as the cross-border lines have spare capacity.

Comparison with the rest of Europe
