GB seeming to incorrectly resolve in mappings.py about entsoe-py HOT 7 CLOSED

According to the MarketAreas documentation '10YGB----------A' points to the bidding zone Great Britain (= England, Scotland, Wales).

What we are indeed missing is UK (= England, Scotland, Wales & Northern Ireland), which is what is reported under the "country" tab of the ENTSO-E Transparency Platform. Code should be '10Y1001A1001A92E' according to the documentation.

Interestingly, when trying this EIC code I get the following response:

Delivered Area EIC 10Y1001A1001A92E is not valid.

Interestingly, when trying this EIC code I get the following response:

Delivered Area EIC 10Y1001A1001A92E is not valid.

So for me, when I look at the actually URL generated when doing a Total Load - Day Ahead / Actual query with the UK as country, I just see simply GB in there:

https://transparency.entsoe.eu/load-domain/r2/totalLoadR2/show?name=&defaultValue=false&viewType=TABLE&areaType=CTY&atch=false&dateTime.dateTime=31.10.2020+00:00|WET|DAY&biddingZone.values=CTY|GB!CTY|GB&dateTime.timezone=WET_WEST&dateTime.timezone_input=WET+(UTC)+/+WEST+(UTC+1)

from entsoe-py.

Noted, I still think it's worth checking with the Transparency Platform team whether this is intended or not. After all, when querying for Germany (country), we have to use '10Y1001A1001A83F’ and not 'DE'.

Checked with the TP team: It is planned to change GB country code to the correct EIC code during the Christmas period (when few TP requests are made).

We will update our Python package shortly after.

Great, thank you.

hi @ditchell I have tested your code with the latest version and it seems to work so I am gonna clean up this issue as part of a little cleanup. if you experience problems again feel free to reopen the issue.
