Genscape: Challenges Facing European Plant Availability Data & The Growth Of Intraday Power Trading

Due to the changing landscape of power trading in Europe, there has recently been increased pressure for greater visibility into the power markets, which has led to the emergence of numerous transparency platforms and the introduction of regulations that require power utilities to report availability at the plant level.

Genscape's latest white paper, "Plant Availability Data: Challenges in Gathering, Normalising & Utilising this Data in Fundamental Analysis," delves into new possibilities offered by European data flows, explores issues in current data publication and quality, and provides examples of inconsistencies in published data.

Changes to the European power market landscape have also included the growth of intraday power trading. Genscape’s recent blog post, “The Growth of Intraday Power Trading in Europe,” explains why an increase in installed wind and solar capacity, and the need to balance greater volumes closer to delivery are leading factors behind this growth.
