How to use this
Electricity on Europe's wholesale market is priced per hour, a day in advance, and the difference between the cheapest and priciest hour of the same day is routinely 3 to 10 times, sometimes far more. If you're on a dynamic tariff (offered in every EU country under current EU rules: Tibber, aWATTar, Ostrom, Frank Energie, or your local supplier's "spot" plan), shifting flexible loads into the green hours directly cuts your bill.
What's worth shifting
EV charging (the big one, at 10 to 20 kWh per session), dishwasher and washing machine with a delay timer, tumble dryer, water heating and heat-pump boost cycles, and home-battery charging. A household that moves around 5 kWh a day from peak to trough typically saves meaningful money every month. Check your own zone's spread 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. Use the Show my real price switch above to see the full per-kWh figure for your own contract.
