ALPEX Intraday Market

Intraday is the last organised chance to move volume after the day-ahead result. Forecast revisions, outages and battery decisions usually land here.

If the desk does not adjust, the residual goes to imbalance. That is more expensive when the system is tight, typically evening peak hours.

Official session types (intraday auctions and continuous trading) and their gates are in the ALPEX Rules. This page does not invent session clocks.

After the day-ahead auction, members can place further orders for the same delivery day on the intraday segment of ETSS.

Accepted intraday trades update the position that will be nominated or already scheduled. The TSO still balances the system in real time.

Liquidity is not guaranteed in every hour. The desk treats thin hours as a risk input, not as a promised market.

On TradingDesk, intraday sits between Forecasting and Balancing. If forecast-versus-actual is already drifting, check whether an ALPEX intraday product is still open before the hour is lost to imbalance.
