Germany: electricity prices and battery value
Day-ahead prices for Germany, how much a battery could trade each day, and how the market compares with its neighbours.
Germany and Luxembourg share one bidding zone in the coupled European day-ahead auction, priced every quarter-hour. So much solar now runs at midday that prices often fall below zero on sunny weekends, and the evening ramp pays for batteries. Business sites with registered load metering pay a demand charge (Leistungspreis) on their highest peak of the year, which makes peak shaving worth modelling.

The same plan for any size comes from the data API, and a webhook announces each new day as soon as the auction is published:
GET /api/v1/battery-schedule?zone=DE&capacity_mwh=2&power_mw=1&resolution=60 X-API-Key: <your key> webhook event: battery_schedule.published
