SMARD Lignite Generation Series Index, Germany (Hourly)

smard/lignite-generation-index

The index file of the German lignite (brown coal) generation series at hourly resolution on SMARD, the Bundesnetzagentur's electricity market portal: the list of chunk start times, as epoch milliseconds, oldest first, at which the series' data files begin (about one per week). It holds no measurements and no prices; it tells you which time chunks exist and where the newest one starts.
