Thermal Constraint Costs
Summary
NESO data portal page for outturn thermal constraint costs across significant constraint boundaries, showing the cost of managing power flows that exceed circuit capacity between regions.
Why it matters
Constraint cost data is relevant to understanding the cost of network congestion, but this is the portal landing page.

Memo
Thermal constraints are taken when the amount of energy that would flow naturally from one region to another exceeds the capacity of the circuits connecting the two regions. This dataset provides outturn system costs for thermal constraints across a number of significant constraint boundaries.
