Documentation of Outages' files

Access to the data: outages are grouped by country under the following FTP path:

  • For generation, production & consumption assets: 4_Supply/Actual/Outages/{Country}/yyyy/mm/yyyymmdd.csv

  • For transmission assets (available for entsoe and bmrs): 5_Interconnection/Actual/Outages/{from_Country}/{to_Country}/yyyy/mm/yyyymmdd.csv

Introduction of ramping rates

This release includes all outages with or without ramping rates. Ramping rates are managed through the following fields:

  • detail_start_date

  • detail_end_date

  • detail_unavailable_capacity

An event containing a ramping rate, meaning changing unavailable power throughout the event, will be covered through multiple rows. Each row has a constant unavailable power value associated.

Examples:

  1. Event without a ramping rate:

  2. Event with a ramping rate:

The table below describes all columns composing the files:

detail_unavailable_capacity

float

Unavailable capacity during part or all of the event.

end_date

“%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S”

(datetime)

UTC date and time when the event ends.

start_date

“%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S” (datetime)
