What is the ex-post market?
In the energy market, forecasts are made regarding expected consumption and production. In practice, there is always a difference between the forecasted and actual consumption per quarter-hour. This leads to imbalances, which are settled by TenneT.
The ex-post market offers the opportunity to adjust and optimize trading positions based on better insights into consumption and, if necessary, actual production. This prevents unnecessary imbalance costs and indirectly contributes to a stable energy system by enabling market participants to continuously improve their forecasts and energy management, thereby reducing the total imbalance on the grid.
Advantages of trading on the ex-post market
✔ Reducing imbalance costs: By timely correcting deviations between forecasted and actual consumption and production, you avoid unnecessary imbalance costs.
✔ More control over energy costs: Post-delivery trading allows you to respond to better insights into consumption data and market prices.
✔ Responding more efficiently to market developments: By trading retrospectively based on improved insights, aligning supply and demand more effectively, the energy market becomes more stable and transparent.
