Watchdog for day-ahead prices

Our watchdog is now also keeping an eye on European day-ahead prices.

4/23/2025

You could already use power2market to automatically monitor the futures market for electricity, natural gas and CO₂. You received email notifications when prices exceeded or fell below the thresholds you defined.

What'snew is that this function is now also available for all major European day-ahead prices. You can also define these values on the watchdog page.

You have more settings available for the day-ahead prices from the daily actions for the following day than for the futures, which are traded continuously:

  • Base Limit: If the base price of a day is above or below a value defined by you.
  • Negative prices: If at least one hour of the delivery day has a negative price.
  • Availability: You will receive an e-mail when the auction prices have been published.
