# Get Energy-Charts cross-border electricity exchanges

Automatically get Energy-Charts cross-border electricity exchanges on energy-charts.info. Read the Energy-Charts (Fraunhofer ISE) import and export chart of a European country for a year, half-year, quarter, meteorological season or month: the electricity, in GWh, that each country of the chart exported to each other one, for the country and its neighbours. Choose the scheduled commercial exchanges (cross-border trading, the default) or the measured physical flows. Use country "all" or "eu" for every European country or the EU. Each exchange is one direction (from, to), so a border has up to two; pairs with no exchange are left out, so a future period gives an empty list. Data starts in 2015.
