Update: Long-Term Flow-Based Allocation (LTFBA)

Dear Market Participants,

Please read this important update on the Long-Term Flow-Based Allocation (LTFBA) project regarding the requirement to publish information on forward prices and the selected provider (Article 37 of the HAR): 

8. The single allocation platform shall publish on their website information on the forward price and the provider used to obtain it. This information shall specify at least the bidding zone and the product duration. The choice of provider shall be consulted with stakeholders.

EEX provides data access APIs that allow organizations to pull real-time or historical electricity market data directly into their systems.

The EEX data source API will be used to publish forward electricity prices in a clear and transparent way. This will provide reliable data on forward prices, including details like the bidding zone and product duration (e.g. monthly or yearly contracts).

The EEX solution will be available in time for the LTFBA go-live in November 2026.

We hope this update provides clarity on our progress and the measures in place to ensure data availability and accuracy. Should you have any questions or require further information, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Please note that any questions or requests for clarification are expected by the 2nd of May, to allow us sufficient time to address them appropriately.

Kind regards,

JAO OPERATIONS
