  This paper presents a novel approach to electricity price forecasting (EPF)
using a pure Transformer model. As opposed to other alternatives, no other
recurrent network is used in combination to the attention mechanism. Hence,
showing that the attention layer is enough for capturing the temporal patterns.
The paper also provides fair comparison of the models using the open-source EPF
toolbox and provide the code to enhance reproducibility and transparency in EPF
research. The results show that the Transformer model outperforms traditional
methods, offering a promising solution for reliable and sustainable power
system operation.
