The imbalance response provides an aggregated view of the difference between scheduled and actual energy for an entire Clearing Period, broken down by day.

Calculation

For each day in the settlement month:

Scheduled energy — the total energy declared in your accepted schedules for that day
Actual energy — the total metered energy from MSCONS settlement data
Imbalance — actual minus scheduled (positive = actual exceeded scheduled, i.e. more consumption or less generation than declared)

The per-day imbalances are then aggregated to produce period-level totals.

Cost calculation

The total_imbalance_cost_eur field represents the financial impact of your imbalance, calculated using reBAP Control Energy Prices. Each quarter-hourly imbalance interval is multiplied by the corresponding reBAP price, then summed across the month.

Daily breakdown

The daily_imbalances array contains one DailyImbalance entry per day, each with:

Field	Description
`date`	Settlement date
`scheduled_mwh`	Total scheduled energy for this day
`actual_mwh`	Total actual (metered) energy for this day
`imbalance_mwh`	Difference (actual minus scheduled)

Aggregated imbalance calculation for an entire clearing period, broken down by day.
