Common questions

How many locations are covered?

About 280 hubs and zones across the 10 markets.

Do you cover Canadian power?

Yes: Ontario and Alberta.

Can I get non-standard shapes?

Yes. Beyond on/off-peak there are weekend, night, extended and custom hour-block curves.

Do you have hourly forward curves?

Yes. Hourly forward curves come with Power Forwards at no extra cost: EOX’s monthly on- and off-peak marks shaped hour by hour from each hub’s own day-ahead history. Every month’s hours average back exactly to EOX’s marks. They are available in the API, the Excel add-in, the Curve Picker (CSV or Excel download) and Charts.

What power fundamentals and analytics come with Power Forwards?

Outage history, seasonal reliability outlooks and a five-year capacity outlook for US power, grid boards for North America, Great Britain and continental Europe, and benchmarks such as the supply stack and negative-price hours. All are included with your subscription, and the benchmarks run on EOX’s forward curves.
