Key figures — August 2026
FCR (monthly mean, EUR/MW): FCR-N 18.6; FCR-D upp 8.5 (both up versus July); FCR-D ned 2.6 (level). Against August 2025 the volume-weighted mean was lower for FCR-D ned (2025: 4.8) and FCR-N (2025: 31.8) and higher for FCR-D upp (2025: 7.2). The report says the higher FCR-D upp mean was strongly affected by high marginal prices in procurement 1 on 4 August.
aFRR CM (monthly mean, EUR/MW):
| Area | aFRR up | aFRR down |
|---|---|---|
| SE1 | 4.1 | 13.6 |
| SE2 | 7.3 | 14.2 |
| SE3 | 12.3 | 14.2 |
| SE4 | 12.6 | 13.9 |
Both directions rose in every zone versus July, and both are below August 2025 in every zone. Share of called volume in Sweden: aFRR up 2% (level), aFRR down 28% (up from 15% in July).
mFRR CM (monthly mean, EUR/MW):
| Area | mFRR up | mFRR down |
|---|---|---|
| SE1 | 3.3 | 20.6 |
| SE2 | 4.1 | 12.0 |
| SE3 | 4.7 | 3.2 |
| SE4 | 16.4 | 3.2 |
Up fell in SE3 and SE4 and held level in SE1 and SE2; down fell in SE1 and SE2 and held level in SE3 and SE4. The Swedish share of called volume rose somewhat in both directions, mainly up.
mFRR EAM spread over spot (EUR/MWh, August 2026 mean): up SE1 30, SE2 31, SE3 46, SE4 44; down SE1 −18, SE2 −22, SE3 −25, SE4 −31. Up spread fell in SE3 and SE4 and held level in SE1 and SE2; down spread rose in SE1 and SE2 and fell in SE3 and SE4. Activated volumes in Sweden held level for up and fell for down; in the Nordic area they held level for up and fell slightly for down.
New in this report
The report starts publishing monthly values for the imbalance forecast’s MAE (mean absolute error) and bias, per bidding zone (page 19). The forecast predicts the imbalance per zone and quarter-hour to set the mFRR need. The published values are monthly means and exclude the fixed reduction of mFRR need and any manual adjustments by control-room operators for sudden disturbances the forecast could not capture in time. The report’s charts are figures only; the extract carries no per-month numbers the wiki relies on, so none are recorded here.
Unlike the July report, this one has no January–August summary boxes in the extract.
