About the Project

What is enerlyzer?

enerlyzer is a comprehensive dashboard for analyzing the European energy market, with a focus on solar power economics. The platform tracks and visualizes key metrics across 47 European bidding zones, providing insights into market dynamics, negative pricing events, and renewable energy capture rates.

Why This Matters

As Europe accelerates its transition to renewable energy, the dynamics of electricity markets are changing rapidly — especially with the rise of solar. New patterns are emerging and are reshaping how energy systems operate. Negative price hours, for example, highlight both the challenges and opportunities that come with a power system increasingly driven by weather-dependent generation.

This project aims to shed light on these evolving dynamics and make them easier to understand. Building the app also gave me the opportunity to explore energy datasets more deeply using SQL and Python and to experiment with ways of visualizing market behavior.

The work is ongoing, and I plan to expand the tool step by step with new features, more analytics, and additional market indicators.

This dashboard helps investors, researchers, and policymakers understand:

• Where and when negative pricing occurs
• How solar generators are affected by market dynamics
• The gap between average market prices and solar capture prices
• Trends across different European markets

Data Source

All data is sourced from the ENTSO-E Transparency Platform, the official source for European electricity market data. The dashboard updates daily with the latest market information.
