Energy-Charts.Info

Energy-Charts is a free, public data platform run by the Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems (Fraunhofer ISE) in Freiburg, Germany. Senior scientist Bruno Burger began building it in 2010 and launched the online platform in 2014 as a source of transparent, objective data on the European energy transition. The site draws on around 16 public data feeds, including grid operator and power-exchange sources, refreshing automatically to publish electricity generation, installed capacity, emissions, climate data, cross-border flows and day-ahead spot prices for Germany and 42 other European countries. It is widely cited by journalists, analysts and researchers as an authoritative, independent reference for European power-market data, drawing roughly 100 million site visits and 250 million chart views a year, alongside an open API and a companion PowerSignal app.

On the european-energy-markets desk, Energy-Charts is the primary open reference for German and cross-border day-ahead electricity prices and generation mix, used to check price spreads such as the France-Germany day-ahead differential and to verify renewable output figures cited in briefings against the underlying grid-operator and power-exchange data it aggregates.
