How is this statistic computed?
The Hungary bidding zone (HU) clears its day-ahead auction in 15-minute steps. Vantage Energies takes every quarter-hour price published on the ENTSO-E Transparency Platform (Nord Pool public data for the Nordic and Baltic zones), assigns it to its CET/CEST wall-clock day, averages each clock hour's quarter-hour prices into an hourly price, and averages those hourly prices from 2026-04-01 to 2026-04-30. The quarter-hour minimum and maximum are the lowest and highest single quarter-hour prices in that window. The same aggregation serves the Vantage Insights charts and the Vantage API. The hourly index minimum and maximum are its lowest and highest prices in that window. The hourly index is the zone's published hourly price, or the mean of the hour's four quarter-hour prices for an hour without one. The negative-hours statistic and the Vantage API quote their minimum on the same index.
