Notes
- Carbon intensity is estimated from each market’s generation by fuel. Forward hours follow the renewables forecast.
- Prices are day-ahead wholesale, not what a site pays.
- The Netherlands reads high around midday, as Dutch solar output is under-reported.
- “Delayed” marks a series that missed its last refresh.
