  • ENTSO-E · Continental European gridRegional grid

    Part of the synchronous grid of Continental Europe, the largest interconnected grid in the world by customers, coordinated by the European Network of Transmission System Operators for Electricity.

What does “Wholesale market” mean?

Power plants compete to sell electricity in a wholesale market or pool, dispatched by a system operator. Most consumers still buy from a regulated distribution company at approved tariffs.
