Financial transmission rights price curves published

  • Wholesale
  • Prices

We’ve published financial transmission rights price curves to show time trends for financial transmission rights prices and volumes between two given nodes.

The financial transmission rights price for a path between the nodes shows the market’s expectations of the price of the path for a set number of months in the future.

The publication of these price curves is part of our wider review of the financial transmission rights market. Earlier this year, we found the market is operating broadly as intended.
