Hello,
This is from a document on buying and selling energy. "Son también incluidas a precio cero tanto las entregas físicas procedentes de la contratación a plazo realizada en OMIP como las compras de los vendedores en las ocho primeras subastas". Any suggestions on what "a precio cero" means?
Thanks in advance.
