It is defined as equal to the month-ahead forecasted sum of power generated by plants on both TSO/DSO networks, from which is deduced:

the balance (export-import) of exchanges on interconnections between neighbouring bidding zones
the power absorbed by energy storage resources

Usage

load_month_ahead_total_forecast(
  eic = NULL,
  period_start = lubridate::ymd(Sys.Date() - lubridate::days(x = 1L), tz = "CET"),
  period_end = lubridate::ymd(Sys.Date(), tz = "CET"),
  tidy_output = TRUE,
  security_token = Sys.getenv("ENTSOE_PAT")
)

Arguments

eic: Energy Identification Code of the bidding zone/ country/control area
period_start: POSIXct or YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS format One year range limit applies
period_end: POSIXct or YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS format One year range limit applies
tidy_output: Defaults to TRUE. If TRUE, then flatten nested tables.
security_token: Security token for ENTSO-E transparency platform

Examples

df <- entsoeapi::load_month_ahead_total_forecast(
  eic = "10Y1001A1001A82H",
  period_start = lubridate::ymd(x = "2019-11-01", tz = "CET"),
  period_end = lubridate::ymd(x = "2019-11-30", tz = "CET"),
  tidy_output = TRUE
