Course: Power markets – Day-ahead power auction

About the online training programme

The day-ahead market is a central element of electricity trading in Europe, acting as the main reference point for prices and scheduling of generation and consumption. It is organised through a daily auction in which market participants submit their bids and offers for each hour of the next delivery day. This auction provides the opportunity to match supply and demand across interconnected countries efficiently, and is fundamental to the functioning of the broader electricity system.
