Documentation of actual generation files

Access to the data - files are grouped by provider and country under the following FTP path: /4_Supply/Actual/Generation/{provider}/{country}

File naming convention:

CORE_SUPPLY_ACTUAL_Generation_{provider}_{bidding_zone}_By{Unit|Type}_{date}.csv

Examples:

  • RTE/FR: 3 files per day, one for generation aggregated by fuel type and one for generation per unit

    • CORE_SUPPLY_ACTUAL_Generation_RTE_FR_ByType_yyyymmdd.csv

    • CORE_SUPPLY_ACTUAL_Generation_RTE_FR_BySubType_yyyymmdd.csv

    • CORE_SUPPLY_ACTUAL_Generation_RTE_FR_ByUnit_yyyymmdd.csv

  • ENTSO-e/DK: 4 files per day, 2 (by type and by unit) for each bidding zone

    • DK1:

      • CORE_SUPPLY_ACTUAL_Generation_ENTSOE_DK1_ByType_yyyymmdd.csv

      • CORE_SUPPLY_ACTUAL_Generation_ENTSOE_DK2_ByUnit_yyyymmdd.csv

    • DK2:

      • CORE_SUPPLY_ACTUAL_Generation_ENTSOE_DK1_ByType_yyyymmdd.csv

      • CORE_SUPPLY_ACTUAL_Generation_ENTSOE_DK2_ByUnit_yyyymmdd.csv
