As of October 1st, the Greek and wider European electricity markets transition to 15-minute products, replacing hourly settlement and fully aligning with the European target model. This regulatory evolution introduces increased market volatility, faster trading cycles and significantly higher demands for forecasting accuracy and operational optimisation.
For energy producers and aggregators, the shift to shorter settlement intervals means that even minor deviations between forecasted and actual production or consumption can have a direct and measurable impact on revenues. Success in the 15-minute market environment now depends on advanced digital capabilities, including accurate forecasting, real-time monitoring, automation, and portfolio-level optimisation.
