Capture rates & market values, every European bidding zone
Market value = generation-weighted day-ahead price; capture rate (market value factor, Marktwertfaktor) = market value ÷ baseload average; NEG share = the technology's generation delivered at negative prices. Native resolution (15-minute), frozen 12 days after month end, never restated.

CR = capture rate · MV = market value €/MWh · NEG = generation share at negative prices. Cells without sufficient generation (offshore in landlocked zones, far-north winter solar) stay empty rather than interpolated.
Why this matters
The more solar and wind on the system, the harder they cannibalize their own price: capture rates fall and the share of generation sold at negative prices rises. For PPA pricing, project finance and battery business cases this is THE number — here it is, monthly, for every bidding zone, citable.
Capture rates and market values are derived statistics computed by Voltcast — our own output, free to cite with attribution ("Voltcast Capture Index" + link). Prices: day-ahead auction results; generation: ENTSO-E Transparency (A75) actuals. Methodology capture-v1
