Interconnector Flows

About

The Interconnector Flows chart provides a live view on the activity of the different market parties along a given interconnector. This data is available from the main database historically, but this shows how parties have been trading the market and how this has contributed to the planned levels of import/export along an interconnector.

This data is available from the main database historically, but this shows how parties have been trading the market and how this has contributed to the planned levels of import/export along an interconnector.

Included Data

The data plotted for each market party is the FPN (Final Physical Notification) data that has been submitted, with the Market Coupling party split out and shown as an area to make clear the adjustments made within day.

Estimated Imbalance values are also shown on this chart. This calculation is looking at the difference between the sum of the FPN planned import/export profiles and the metered fuel mix data for each interconnector (published via the FuelInst plot).
