Denmark East (DK2) bidding zone

Denmark east of the Great Belt, synchronous with the Nordic grid and containing Copenhagen. Connected to DK1 only through the Great Belt HVDC link, which is why the two Danish zones can price very differently on the same day.

The EIC is the in_Domain / out_Domain value for ENTSO-E Transparency Platform queries against this zone. Verify it against the ENTSO-E EIC registry before relying on it: several countries publish aliased bidding-zone, control-area and market-balance-area domains, and the correct one depends on what is being asked for.

Neighbours are day-ahead coupling topology only — no capacity and no direction. They are what the reconstruction uses to derive a coupling reference price for modelled net imports, and they are not a substitute for allocated cross-zonal capacity, which is not yet ingested.
