Electricity Markets and Prices
Learn why electricity is traded through linked timeframes and how physical constraints become schedules, prices and imbalance exposure.
Direct answer
What does this topic connect?
Electricity markets coordinate production and consumption across time by matching offers, bids, schedules and balancing actions. Prices reflect the marginal resource and the relevant market design, while networks, timing and location can create different physical and commercial outcomes.
Projects earn hourly prices rather than abstract annual averages, and market positions must still reconcile with metered physical delivery.
