Our energy prices are wholesale prices and forward price curves. We have power prices for every zone that we model which is currently over a 100.
Retail prices are also included in the retail market trends section
Our definitions for the time of day include -
“Average” - which is the average of power prices across all hours of the day/week,
“On peak” - this is middle of the day Monday to Friday 6am to 10pm, the times of the day when we expect energy consumption to be higher
“Off peak” all the hours that are not on peak 10pm to 5am, Monday – Friday and every hour Saturday and Sunday
The most granular the prices will get in the NAPS Tool is monthly, but we have another tool, The NAPS Hourly Tool which goes down to power prices on an hourly level and the reason for this split is because the hourly data has a lot of data and having a separate tool ensures the tool isn't slowed down
This tool provides both historical and forecast prices
