Market snapshot — current spot prices, CO₂ intensity, renewable forecast
Aggregates current day-ahead spot prices, CO₂ intensity (with forecast), and wind/solar generation forecast for the next 24 hours into a single response.
Fixed upstream parameters: market: day-ahead, today's date, forecastType: both.
Optional overrides:
- ?location=Heidelberg overrides the CO₂ intensity location (default: Deutschland)
- ?region=Bayern enables the ENTSO-E wind/solar forecast (region-specific); omit to skip — renewableForecast24h will be null when no region is given
Cache TTL: 15 minutes (key: location + region).
