Hourly electricity import prices

Package version
Description Modeled hourly electricity prices in EUR2010/MWh for Swiss neighboring countries for the years 2025, 2030, 2035 and 2040 as output of Swissmod electricity market model. These can be regarded as import prices for Switzerland.
Notes Model run based on the Sustainable Transition scenario of ENTSO-E TYNDP 2018. This means that demand, generation capacity, fuel prices and carbon price are assumed to develop according to the TYNDP 2018 of the European Network of Transmission System Operators for Electricity (ENTSO-E).
Last changes Not documented.

Field documentation

electricity_import_prices.xlsx (electricity import prices.xlsx)

Field Name Type (Format) Description
hour string Hour of the year (from h1 to h8760)
scenario number CO2 price scenario (either reference or decarb). The assumed CO2 prices for these two pathways can be found in the separate file co2_price_pathways.xlsx.
target_year number Target year (out of 2025, 2030, 2035, 2040), i.e. the TYNDP years. The input data assumptions for 2035 were taken from a linear interpolation of the TYNDP data for 2030 and 2040.
country string Two letter country-code for the four neighboring countries of Switzerland.
price number Modelled electricity wholesale price for the hour for the respective country in EUR/MWh. These can be assumed as import prices for Switzerland.
