Market Price Integration – French Market (CRE)

Feature Name: Dynamic Price PPAs
Release Date: June 26, 2025

What's New?

We are excited to introduce a major enhancement to our Invoice Management module: automated integration of French market price data from CRE (Commission de Régulation de l'Énergie).
You can now create dynamic invoice pricing models using official monthly Solar and Wind energy prices—without any manual effort.

What's Included

CRE Market Data Integration

Automated fetching of M0 and M0 Temp prices directly from the official French government open data portal (data.gouv.fr)
Supports Solar (PV) and Wind generation technologies
Historical and current price access

Dynamic Price Scheduling

Create price schedules using CRE market prices
Define custom invoice formulas using an intuitive formula editor
Examples:
- Price = Fixed_Contract_Price - M0_PV
- Price = M0_Wind - Discount_Per_MWh
- Price = (M0 + M0_Temp) / 2
