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.
Germany and Luxembourg form a joint bidding zone (DE-LU). Until 30 September 2018 Austria belonged to it as well; since then Austria has been a zone of its own. Since 2025 the day-ahead auction runs in 15-minute products; the table above combines four quarter hours into one hour because that is easier to read.
Germany trades together with its neighbours. Coupled zones move together in price as long as the interconnectors have spare capacity. All figures in EUR/MWh.
