title: European Power Price Blocks - baseload, peak & off-peak, monthly Parquet
description: The block structure European power is actually traded in, per bidding zone per month: baseload, peak (Mon-Fri 07:00-19:00 UTC, the CET business block) and off-peak average prices, plus the peak/off-peak spread - the premium every block trader, PPA pricer and utility hedger quotes. Derived cleanly from day-ahead prices across ~40 European zones, 2018-present, one row per zone × month × block. Licence-clean and AI-training-safe.
