Frankfurt's market shows acute structural imbalance: 291 tracked facilities totaling 2,240 MW are operating under severe power constraints that outweigh available capacity. The excess-power rating of 22/100 signals critical undersupply relative to demand, while the constraint score of 72/100 indicates that grid and infrastructure bottlenecks are the binding constraint, not buildable space.
