Methodology
The day-ahead market clears once each day at 13:00 CET via the EU Single Day-Ahead Coupling (SDAC). Each connected bidding zone gets one price per hour for tomorrow. Estonia is in the SDAC zone; Nord Pool is the operator that runs the matching for the Nordic-Baltic region.
The clearing price is the highest accepted bid in each direction (sell / buy) at the equilibrium volume. Every accepted seller and buyer pays / receives this single uniform price.
FAQ
- Why does Estonia sometimes have a different price than Finland?
- When cross-border transmission capacity (NTC) between two zones is full, prices decouple. EE-FI on EstLink is a frequent example — high Finnish demand pulls the FI price up, and if the EE→FI line is at capacity, EE clears below FI.
- Is the next day already shown?
- After the SDAC auction publishes (~13:00 CET), tomorrow’s 24 hourly prices are appended to this feed. Before that the latest row is yesterday’s 23:00 CET hour.
