Control energy prices (reBAP — regelzonenübergreifender einheitlicher Bilanzausgleichsenergiepreis) are the prices used to value imbalance energy in MaBiS settlement. They are published by the TSOs and received via PRICAT EDIFACT messages.

​
Structure

Each response contains the prices for one TSO area and one month:
  • tso — the TSO control area identifier
  • month — the settlement month (YYYY-MM)
  • data — an array of quarter-hourly price data points, each with a timestamp and price in EUR/MWh

​
Usage

Control energy prices are used in two ways:
  1. Imbalance cost calculation — each quarter-hourly imbalance (actual minus scheduled energy) is multiplied by the corresponding reBAP price to determine the financial impact
  2. Monthly cost summaries — the GET /mabis/energy-volumes/{mabis_zp_id}/monthly-summary endpoint uses these prices to compute cost breakdowns per aggregation object

​
Data availability

Prices are available once the TSO publishes them via PRICAT messages. For the preliminary billing phase (M+18 WT), provisional prices may be used. Final prices are typically available before the final billing deadline (M+42 WT).
