Bid/Offer Prices
About
The Bid/Offer Prices chart can show the Offer and Bid Prices that apply in the market for a given time period. When set to LIVE, this shows the prices at which any units are being turned up or down in the live minute. When set by period, for instance P+1 it will show prices at all units seeing any balancing actions in the settlement period following the current period.
The data is grouped by fuel and can be filtered by “Fuel Type”. If no filter is set, it is possible to click on a column to see the same chart for all units of a given fuel type. Having done so, it is then possible to click on any column to see the balancing action at the given unit in more detail.
Included Data
The data on this chart is as follows:
- Average Offer Price - The average price of accepted/next declared/declared actions to increase generation via the Balancing Mechanism.
- Average Bid Price - The average price of accepted/next declared/declared actions to decrease generation via the Balancing Mechanism.
