# Get Energy-Charts electricity spot prices

Automatically get Energy-Charts electricity spot prices on energy-charts.info. Read the Energy-Charts (Fraunhofer ISE) spot market chart of a European country for one week, month or year: the day-ahead auction price, and for Germany the intraday prices, gas price and fuel cost index, with the CO2 allowance price, the load, the production by group and the net cross-border trading over the same time steps. Use country "all" or "eu" to get the day-ahead price of every European bidding zone side by side (for example France next to Germany). Prices are in EUR/MWh and power in MW, each value at its UTC time. Time steps are 15 minutes where the market uses them (day-ahead since 1 October 2025) and hourly otherwise. The current week also holds the next day once its auction is published; later time steps are null. Data starts in 2015. A period with no published data fails with a message that says so.
