How are these statistics computed?

Power statistics are computed from day-ahead auction results on CET/CEST wall-clock days, sourced from European transparency publications and processed by Vantage. Zones that clear in 15-minute steps publish quarter-hour prices; the others publish hourly prices. Negative hours use one price per hour: from 1 October 2025, the mean of its four quarter-hour prices, or the published hourly price for an hour without all four. Hourly minima and maxima are hourly index prices: the zone's published hourly price, or the mean of the hour's four quarter-hour prices for an hour without one. Each day-ahead permalink states how many prices its figures are computed from, and how many of the month's hours they cover where that is known.

Hub gas prices average the daily reference price Trading Hub Europe publishes for the German virtual trading point over every gas day of the month; minimum and maximum are the lowest and highest single gas-day prices.

A permalink always covers its zone and month, and a page whose definition changes says when and what it counted before.
