The price of every hour comes from the day-ahead market, where supply and demand for the next day are matched. Plenty of sun and wind push the price down, sometimes below zero. Only the market part of your tariff moves: energy tax, supplier markup and fixed costs stay the same, so the saving comes from when you use electricity rather than from using less.

Frequently asked questions

When are tomorrow prices known?

Usually during the afternoon, once the day-ahead auction closes. From then the hourly and quarter-hourly prices for the next day are fixed. Dynamic, fixed or variable →

Why is the electricity price sometimes negative?

Because more power is being generated than used at that moment, mostly with a lot of sun or wind. Producers would rather pay a little than switch off. Use more of your own solar power →

Does my whole tariff move with the market?

No. Only the market part moves per hour. Energy tax, supplier markup and fixed supply costs stay the same. Dynamic, fixed or variable →
