SamionX: life cycle (IPCC AR5), imports at the neighbours’ actual mix. Elia does not publish its emission factors. Mean gap over 30 days: +46 g, correlation 0.98. Details
Wind and solar forecast, 36 h
Latest Elia forecast, P10–P90 band (sum of regions, hence conservative).

Most renewable windows
2-hour blocks where forecast wind and solar cover the largest share of forecast load.
Elia forecast, not a measurement. A marker for scheduling flexibility: storage, fleet charging, industrial processes.
Monthly balance
Energy for the month in GWh, Brussels time, compared with the same month a year earlier.
Sources and freshness
Server-side collection every 5 minutes; Elia’s validated publications replace real-time values as soon as they are released. Nothing is made up: missing data stays missing.
