Subscription Plans
What subscription options are available?
Energy Prices & Markets offers four subscription plans — Starter, Pro, Advanced, and Ultimate — each with progressively broader data coverage, delivery methods, and licensing rights. Subscriptions are sold per country on an annual basis.
- Starter — Designed for local or startup businesses. Access is geo-restricted to the country where the subscription was purchased.
- Pro — Suited for international businesses needing global access and price forecasts.
- Advanced — Best for business groups with automation needs (Most Popular). Includes Excel Add-In, Power BI, and API access plus full Market Outlook data.
- Ultimate — Tailored for consulting companies and service or software providers with integration needs. Available upon request.
How much does an energy subscription cost?
Subscription fees are charged per country on an annual basis, starting at $199 USD/year for the Starter plan.
Because subscriptions are sold per country, the total annual fee scales with the number of countries included. All plans support credit card, PayPal, and wire transfer payments. Wire transfer incurs an additional USD 199 fee and takes 3–5 business days to activate.
Are subscriptions monthly or annual?
All Energy Prices & Markets subscriptions are billed annually. Monthly billing and single-access options are not available.
Three self-service plans — Starter, Pro, and Advanced — can be purchased directly through the website. The Ultimate plan is available upon request for organizations with broader data integration or third-party sharing needs.
Subscriptions paid via credit card or PayPal include auto-renewal, which guarantees the subscription fee remains unchanged at renewal. Wire transfer subscribers must repurchase each year and may encounter fee adjustments.
Is there a plan that includes price forecasts?
Price forecasts are included in Pro, Advanced, and Ultimate plans. The Starter plan does not include price forecasts.
Forecasts are updated monthly alongside all other price data and cover selected energy price assessments per country. To access forecasts, the minimum plan is Pro at $299 USD per country per year.
Can I add more countries to my subscription?
Additional countries can be added to an existing Energy Prices & Markets subscription at any time, with charges prorated for the remainder of the billing period.
To add a country, the subscription owner must:
- Log in at www.intratec.us with your registered email and password.
- Click on "Subscriptions" in the account menu.
- Locate the Energy Prices & Markets subscription and click "Upgrade Plan."
- Select the additional country or countries to add.
You pay only the prorated difference for the time remaining in your current billing period. Only the subscription owner can make changes to the subscription.
Countries cannot be switched or removed once added — only new countries can be added to an existing subscription.
Can I switch or remove a country after subscribing?
Countries cannot be switched or removed from an Energy Prices & Markets subscription after subscribing. Once a country is added, it remains part of the subscription until it expires or is cancelled.
You can add new countries at any time — paying only the prorated difference — but you cannot replace one country with another or remove a country mid-term. To change coverage, you would need to wait until the current subscription period ends and then purchase a new subscription with the desired countries.
Select countries carefully before committing to a subscription, as coverage changes within a billing period are limited to additions only.
How do I get energy data into Excel or Power BI?
The Excel Add-In and Power BI integration are available on Advanced and Ultimate plans. Both allow direct, automatically refreshed access to Energy Prices & Markets data without manual data entry.
Excel Add-In — Access and refresh data directly in Microsoft Excel with the press of a button. Zero setup required — the add-in works with existing Excel models on Windows and Mac. Data is updated automatically upon monthly publication.
Power BI — Pre-configured, open-source .pbix project files connect directly to Intratec data. No setup required — plug into existing Power BI dashboards and customize as needed.
Both methods share a combined monthly data request allowance with the API. The Advanced plan includes up to 50 data requests per country per month by default; an Extra Automation Package (500 requests/month/country) is available as an add-on at checkout. The Ultimate plan provides 500+ requests per country per month with up to 20 API users.
Starter and Pro subscribers do not have access to Excel Add-In or Power BI. Upgrading to the Advanced plan unlocks both features.
Is there a plan for market outlook and trade data?
Market Outlook and trade data are included in Advanced and Ultimate plans. These sections provide a full picture of each country's energy supply and demand dynamics.
Market Outlook data covers:
- Exports, imports, and trade balance
- Trade partners and trade dependencies
- Production and demand
- Energy balance and energy self-sufficiency
Advanced and Ultimate plans also include Freight & Insurance Costs (freight rates, forecasts, insurance, netback and netforward prices) and Electricity Generation by Source — data that helps contextualize price movements with fundamental market drivers.
If your analysis requires understanding trade flows or production dynamics alongside price data, the Advanced plan is the minimum tier needed.
Can I share data outside my organization?
Sharing data with third parties — including clients, partners, or external organizations — requires an Ultimate plan. All standard plans restrict data use to within the subscriber's organization or business group.
With an Ultimate plan, you can share data with external parties and integrate it into your own products or services. Reselling raw Intratec data is not permitted under any plan, including Ultimate.
The Ultimate plan is available upon request. A preliminary quote tailored to your needs can be generated on the Ultimate plan page.
How many users can access my subscription?
The number of users included in each plan is as follows:
Users are added by the subscription owner or admin at no additional cost, provided they share the same business email domain. Free email addresses (such as Gmail or Yahoo) are not permitted.
The Starter plan additionally restricts access by geography — users must be located in the country where the subscription was purchased. Pro, Advanced, and Ultimate plans have no geographic access restriction.
API and Automation Access
How do I integrate energy data into my own systems?
The REST Web API enables direct, programmatic access to Energy Prices & Markets data. It is available on Advanced and Ultimate plans and is compatible with workflow automation tools and internal systems.
Advanced plan — 1 API user with 10 to 500 requests per country per month, depending on the automation tier selected at checkout.
Ultimate plan — Up to 20 API users with 500+ requests per country per month, designed for enterprise-scale integration.
The API is compatible with Microsoft Logic Apps, N8N, Zapier, and other automation platforms, as well as ERP and proprietary systems. It provides access to current data and full historical archives.
Data requests are counted collectively across the API, Excel Add-In, and Power BI — all three automation methods share the same monthly allowance.
What determines how many API requests I get?
The number of API requests available per month depends on your plan and the automation tier selected at checkout.
On the Advanced plan, the default allowance is 50 requests per country per month. An Extra Automation Package (500 requests/month/country) is available as an add-on. These limits are reset monthly and are shared across all automation methods — each data series retrieved via the API, Excel Add-In, or Power BI counts as one request.
The Ultimate plan is designed for teams with high-volume or enterprise-scale automation needs and includes 500+ requests per country per month with up to 20 API users.
