European Cross

Hourly physical electricity flows across Europe's interconnectors - the actual MW moving from one bidding zone to its neighbour, per directed border, pulled from ENTSO-E's A11 cross-border XML and flattened into one clean Parquet. ENTSO-E publishes one series per DIRECTION, so each interconnector is two rows (A→B and B→A); subtract them for the net flow, or sum a zone's borders for its net import/export balance. The physical realisation behind every price spread, congestion event and market-coupling study, 2021-present.

What's included

• Hourly physical cross-border flows (MW), ~70 major European interconnectors, 2021-present
• zone = directed border 'EXPORTER>IMPORTER' (e.g. 'FR>BE'); both directions kept
• Subtract the two directions for net flow; sum a zone's borders for its import/export balance
• Covers CWE, the Nordic AC mesh + HVDC subsea cables, the Baltics, Iberia, Italy & SE-Europe
• One row per border per hour, timestamped UTC, deduplicated; flat + partitioned (zone/year)
• Data dictionary + load examples (pandas / DuckDB / Polars)
