Import market price

This workflow enables the one-off or recurring automatic import of electricity market prices from the ENTSO-E Open Data Platform.

Where can I find this workflow?

Data Collection => Metering point => Automation

For metering points with the electricity medium, the “Day-Ahead” electricity market prices can be retrieved from the ENTSO-E API. These are stored in the specific OBIS identifier “001-148:001.029.000*255”. The data is stored at 15-minute intervals and as a price per kWh (!).
