The electromagnetic energy transport from the solar wind into the dayside magnetosphere is examined based on the formation of a stagnation line at the magnetopause. The Poynting flux is estimated into an open magnetosphere for arbitrarily oriented IMF with varying stagnation line orientation at the magnetopause. The relation between the solar wind speed and magnetic field and IMF and the stagnation line is analyzed. The data reveal that the energy transport is determined by the orientation of the stagnation line relative to the IMF and height of the reconnection active region.
