View pageKey facts about Germany power market
Germany has one of Europe's largest power systems with deep interconnections to neighboring markets.
The generation mix features high wind and solar penetration, while lignite and coal remain important for system balance in low-renewable periods.
Nuclear generation ended in 2023, increasing reliance on renewables, gas, imports, and flexible thermal units.
German prices often show high volatility and frequent low or negative price hours during strong wind and solar output.
Germany participates fully in coupled European day-ahead and intraday markets, so cross-border conditions influence domestic price formation.
Main data sources
The main sources of German electricity data are SMARD (Bundesnetzagentur), the ENTSO-E Transparency Platform, and EPEX Spot for market prices. Together, they provide generation, demand, interconnection flows, and day-ahead and intraday market results for the German power system.
SMARD aggregates official TSO reporting (50Hertz, Amprion, TenneT, TransnetBW) and is the most detailed option if your focus is Germany. It offers granular time series for generation by technology, demand, and system indicators.
EPEX Spot is the primary reference for market-facing data in Germany, publishing official day-ahead and intraday prices and auction results used across trading and analytics workflows.
