Actual Generation Output Per Generation Unit (B1610)

Changed on

This endpoint provides the actual metered volume output (MWh) per Settlement Period for all BM units (Positive, Negative or zero MWh values).

The settlement period to query must be specified as a date and settlement period. The date must be given in the format yyyy-MM-dd.

The information is published five days after the end of the operational period based on the Interim Information (II) Settlement Run and the data is refreshed by subsequent Settlement Runs.

The generation output returned by this endpoint is the metered volume and not the instantaneous power output as often appears in other specifications.
