About

The ENTSO-E Transparency Platform at transparency.entsoe.eu is the central publication point for European electricity market data under Regulation (EU) No 543/2013. ENTSO-E launched it on 5 January 2015, and it gives free, continuous access across Market, Load, Generation, Transmission, Outages, Balancing, Operations, and OMI. Data arrives from transmission system operators and is keyed by country, bidding zone, and control area. A RESTful API at web-api.tp.entsoe.eu returns XML documents selected by documentType, processType, area codes, and a time interval.

On Fibric, an operator queries the series for your bidding zone, such as day-ahead prices and actual generation per type, and proposes a load shift or a charge window for your approval.

This is a reference listing. It documents what Fibric would read from ENTSO-E Transparency Platform and what it could propose, based on the publisher's published interfaces. Fibric builds it under a managed deployment when you request it; selecting it here installs nothing.

Inputs

  • System total load (documentType A65): actual total load and day-ahead, week-ahead, month-ahead, and year-ahead forecasts
  • Actual generation per type (A75), actual generation per unit (A73), installed generation per type (A68), and wind and solar forecasts (A69)
  • Price Document (A44) for day-ahead prices; Aggregated energy data report (A11) and Finalized schedule (A09) for cross-border flows and schedules
  • Unavailability documents: generation (A80), production (A77), transmission (A78), and load (A76)
  • Balancing: contracted reserves (A81), accepted offers (A82), activated balancing quantities and prices (A83, A84), imbalance prices (A85), and imbalance volumes (A86)
  • Estimated Net Transfer Capacity (A61), capacity and agreed capacity documents (A26, A31), and allocation results (A25)

Proposed actions

Read-only. This feed informs operators; it changes nothing.

Proposed actions are target capabilities. Every action runs propose-first and needs a validated deployment and the appropriate permissions.

What you can build

  • Shift load off day-ahead price peaks

    Query A44 day-ahead prices for your bidding zone once they publish. The operator marks the expensive hours, proposes moving deferrable load, and records the document it read.

    With Price Shift

  • Run on the hours with the cleanest mix

    Read A75 actual generation per type for your control area and the A69 wind and solar forecast. The operator proposes running flexible load when the share you set is met.

    With Carbon Window

  • Brief operations on planned unavailability

    Pull A80 generation and A78 transmission unavailability for your area each morning. The operator lists what is offline, when it returns, and what it means for your plan.

    With Morning Brief

  • Charge a battery ahead of a tight day

    Combine the A65 day-ahead load forecast with A44 prices. The operator proposes charge and discharge windows for your approval, with both documents attached.

    With Battery Dispatch

  • Load, price, flow, and generation-per-type queries cover at most a one-year range; per-unit generation is one day
  • Outage queries return at most 200 documents; several capacity and balancing items return at most 100
  • Not every data item is open for free re-use; ENTSO-E's list carries exceptions, and its Terms of Use govern the platform
