What a day-ahead price is

Once a day, a single auction across the coupled European markets sets one price for every quarter-hour of the following day, in each bidding zone. That is the day-ahead price: the reference the continent trades against, and it is known in advance.

Knowing it in advance is what makes it usable. It is the price behind dynamic tariffs, the reason an electric car charges at 3am rather than 7pm, and what industrial sites watch when they decide which hours to run. On a windy night or a sunny noon it goes below zero — the market paying to have power taken away — and those hours are visible here as soon as they are published.

Tomorrow's prices land shortly after the auction closes, around 13:00 CET, and this page follows them through the day. Everything shown is wholesale: a household bill adds network charges, levies and taxes on top.
