SMARD is all about electricity market data. The platform aims to increase transparency. SMARD presents the most important electricity market data for Germany, and also in part for Europe, nearly in real time. It is possible to look up data on generation, consumption, imports and exports, as well as data on balancing energy, and to combine all these for different periods of time. In the "Market data visuals" section, data can be displayed in graphs or in a table. Data is presented in a user-friendly format, so you don’t have to be an expert to understand it.
