Check and report price update issues here

[Olli69]

If you have problems with getting price info from Entso-E or Elering (Finland & Baltic) you can report the issue here. Currently there is no known technical issues with the latest version of Arska 1.1.0-beta11.

If there are problems in getting price data to Arska

• Check you that your internet connection is ok. Restart Arska device.
• Check if there are any problems reported (here).
• If in Estonia, Finland, Latvia or Lithuania , you can also switch between price source. For Entso-E you need an API-key.
• If valid price data for selected date is available in the source (Entso-E or Elering) but not in Arska, there is possible problem with Arska. Please, report it here.

How to check if price info is available from your selected source

Entso-E

Login to Entso-E Transparency Platform and check if the price data is available for selected date and area.

Test Elering data availability (ee, fi, lv, lt)

• Go to Elering dashboard API documentation page .
• Press "Try it out" on section /api/nps/price/csv, enter start and end dates as well as country information. Press "Execute"
• Download result file and check if there are valid price information (one row per an hour) in the file.

Can Arska get prices from here?

Arska is getting price info from Entso-E API url (web-api.tp.entsoe.eu), so web url change (transparency.entsoe.eu to newtransparency.entsoe.eu) does not affect it directly, even if it is using the same data. Arska can use also Elering price data as backup (for EE, FI, LT, LV price zones).

Arska version 1.3 (currently in alfa testing phase) supports 15-minute Market Time Unit (MTU), going live 11 June 2025.

Ok, thanks. I just started wondering because both yesterday and today I noticed that on during highest price hours my geothermal heat pump was running and arska had error message from price datas.

1.1.0-alfa16 and 1.1.0-beta17 versions should be working with both data sources, EntsoE and Elering (backup source for Fi+Baltic). If you have still errors (and have tested network connections, EntsoE api keys ...), please send the error message here.

I'm having problems eith price with latest version.
Price is showing huge value, propably some maximum value. Restarting does not help. Is there something wrong right now, or?

[Olli69]

@stikstone, I checked several running Arska instances and they seem to have prices ok - mostly from Elering. But currently EntsoE sites https://web-api.tp.entsoe.eu/ and https://newtransparency.entsoe.eu/ seem to be down - do not know if this has anything to do with the problem. What is exact value of the huge price? Value could give hint of the problem, if it is internal problem.
So, you restarted with "Restart and clear cache"?

[stikstone]

Value is 2147483.5 ¢/kWh It was working correctly yesterday, and i think it even worked earlier today. ti 20.5.2025 klo 23.06 Olli ***@***.***> kirjoitti:

And now i see the value seems to be negative, but the same for all hours. And yes, made the restart with clear cache for a few times since after last update it also had some hickups with getting the price. Price data is from elring now, but it was not showing it before. ti 20.5.2025 klo 23.09 turkka kivelä ***@***.***> kirjoitti:

The value seems to missing/unknown value i.e. it seems that Arska does not get price data but show initial values. Just now I do not have idea what exactly could cause the problem, because I cannot repeat the problem. If the price query is canceled (gets connection but no data) for some reason, could possibly cause something like that -but why would it happen multiple times...

Please let me know is there is more info or it gets somehow fixed. I'll try to think, in what situation that could happen.

[stikstone]

Problem persists. Did a restart again this morning.
