How can renewable traders act on imbalance price spikes? This white paper explains what curtailment is and shows where the business case lies. It also covers what’s needed to execute curtailment in practice, from contractual setup to imbalance corridors and real-time price forecasting.

This white paper breaks down how the Single Day-Ahead Coupling (SDAC) and the Single Intraday Coupling (SIDC) work in practice, and what the shift to 15-minute trading intervals means for your positions. It covers:

• How prices are formed and cleared across borders, what happens when the system fails;
• The mechanics of continuous intraday trading through XBID, and why cross-border liquidity has roughly doubled since 2022;
• The practical impact of the 15-minute MTU transition on capture rates, balancing costs, and subsidy schemes.

This white paper presents a practical framework for designing, evaluating, and deploying probabilistic forecasting models. Download it to explore:

• Why probabilistic forecasts improve decision-making compared to point estimates;
• How to generate and evaluate forecasts using quantile regression, conformal prediction, CRPS, and quantile loss;
• What pitfalls to avoid when moving models from backtest to production.

A nuanced approach to assessing metering-point power generation forecasts, covering everything from a forecast's objective to summary statistics and the relationship with balancing costs, with best practices and numerical examples.
