Daily Insights
Stay ahead of market trends with our HPFC, published every working day and accessible through our API.
Continuous and Customisable Forecast
Published every working day, our HPFC includes up to four curves for each area, reflecting different contract maturities. The methodology for distributing futures contracts into hourly forecasts through the HPFC involves a two-step process. First, computing the load-specific price by utilising the most recent base and peak prices available from the source, and creating price profiles by combining the off-peak and peak price curves. Second, after establishing the off-peak and peak price curve, creating an hourly price profile using residual load forecasts and other inputs.
With merged and individual curves for daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly, and yearly contracts, our HPFC offers a continuous and customisable forecast, empowering traders with accurate hourly price insights for informed decision-making. Calculated through load-specific price and scaling profiles, our forecasts ensure arbitrage-freeness and are accessible through our API.
