How to use this
On Europe's wholesale market, electricity is priced by the hour, a day in advance. Between the cheapest and priciest hour of the same day there's routinely 3 to 10 times the difference, sometimes far more. If you're on a dynamic tariff (and every EU supplier has to offer one now: Tibber, aWATTar, Ostrom, Frank Energie, or your local supplier's "spot" plan), moving whatever can be moved into the green hours simply cuts the bill.
What's worth shifting
The big one is EV charging: 10 to 20 kWh per plug-in. After that, the dishwasher and washing machine on a delay timer, the tumble dryer, water heating, heat-pump boost cycles and home-battery charging. A household that moves around 5 kWh a day from peak to trough usually sees it on the bill each month. Your own zone's spread is above.
Does my supplier change the picture?
Not the hourly pattern. The day-ahead auction sets one price per hour for the entire bidding zone, and every supplier there buys at that same price. What differs between suppliers is the margin and standing charge on top, and whether your contract passes hourly prices through at all. On a fixed tariff you pay one rate whatever the market does. The prices here already include a national estimate of fees and taxes. Put the figure from your own contract in under the chart to make it exact.
Tomorrow's prices at 13:00
The day-ahead auction clears around 12:45 CET, so from about 13:00 you can plan tomorrow. Check the Tomorrow tab, or let our daily email do it for you.
