REMIT untangled

How do REMIT messages stack up? Energy Quantified (EQ) now provides quantified REMIT and UMM messages for all your areas. A notoriously complicated, but important data feed is boiled down to easy-to-handle numeric time series. Choose the price-area you focus on and see the:

  • Total available capacity per fuel type (nuclear, coal, etc.)
  • Historical production associated with the capacities
  • Production forecasts from EQ (where available)

EQ recalculates the available capacities whenever new outage messages become available, assuring you get up-to-date data.

Want to grab the historical data?

Help yourself to EQ's database. All REMIT/UMM data are of course saved in the highest possible resolution. EQ takes care of all problems connected to resolution.

  • Retrieve data for any individual power unit or stacked by fuel type going years back
  • Apply our easy-to-use search and filter functionality to create a list of variables to download
  • Use the Excel Integrator or the Time series API to pipe any data available on EQ directly into your own models and systems.

In simple terms, you do not need your own specialised database to start using EQ's REMIT data - or any data from us for that matter. Furthermore, you do not have to keep track of a complex nomenclature or random IDs. All EQ time series have descriptive names.

In fact, if you have claimed your EQ access, you will be up and running with a REMIT feed in no time. If not, claim your access to EQ here.  

Want to view the outage messages?

No problem. View messages sorted by price area and time horizon/product (day-ahead, week-ahead, month-ahead, etc.). What’s truly valuable is not really how much we show, but rather all the irrelevant information we are removing for you.

This will save you the time you’d otherwise have to spend browsing messages that are not active or otherwise not relevant for the market you active in.

Why do we do this? Because we can.

Numbers count.

French nuclear outages winter 2022/23 and power balance outlook

French nuclear production is expected to reach its lowest production level since 1991 this year. This is mainly because of extended technical inspections and a large number of outages, but reduced production during the heat waves this summer has also played a part. By the end of August, we see that 25 out of 56 French nuclear plants are out of operation, resulting in a production output of 26 GWh/h – which is about 10 GWh/h lower than for the same month last year. EDF has announced production targets of 280-300 TWh for 2022, and 300-330 TWh for 2023. Based on these targets, EQ has studied the power balance outlook for 2022/23 and the nuclear production estimates for the winter.

The European Continent has experienced an extraordinarily hot and dry summer. As a result, there has been a lot of focus on reduced nuclear capacity due to higher river temperatures and low flow rates. In this blog post, EQ will focus on the hydropower situation across the Alp region – having hit the lowest production levels in 25 years this summer. For reference, the Alp region includes Germany, France, Switzerland, Austria, and Italy with an accumulated yearly production level of 187 TWh.
