`elexon_system_prices`

Pack: elexon · Endpoint: https://gateway.pipeworx.io/elexon/mcp

Great Britain electricity imbalance prices for a settlement day: system buy price and system sell price per settlement period, in GBP/MWh, plus the price derivation code, reserve scarcity price and net imbalance volume (Elexon DISEBSP). This is the cash-out price the balancing market settles at. Keyless. Elexon serves it outside the /datasets routes, so query_dataset cannot reach it.

Parameters

Name	Type	Required	Description
`settlement_date`	string	yes	Settlement date, e.g. “2026-08-27”.
`settlement_period`	number	no	Optional settlement period 1-48. Omit for the whole day (48 rows).
