How to use today's electricity price

For today, the lowest PVPC hour is 2 PM–3 PM at 0.055 €/kWh. The highest hour is 8 PM–9 PM at 0.274 €/kWh. A 3-hour 7.4 kW EV charge is estimated at €1.37 in the best window, while a 2-hour dishwasher run is estimated at €0.09.

Example 3-hour charge

EV charging moves many kWh. Picking a cheaper continuous window can matter much more than shifting a single small appliance cycle.

€1.37

Example 2-hour dishwasher

One cycle is small, but the habit compounds when dishwashing, laundry, drying, and other flexible loads move away from expensive hours.

€0.09

Air conditioning and heat pumps

In summer, flexible demand can include cooling. If you can pre-cool or shift part of the load, check the lower-price hours before evening peaks.

Prices are displayed in €/kWh to make them easier to compare with household tariffs. Lower hours are usually better for flexible loads.

Which electricity rate applies to your home?

PVPC, fixed rate, or time-of-use?

Check your bill before using this chart to plan a saving. PVPC follows hourly prices. A fixed unit rate charges the same amount per kWh throughout the day; a time-of-use offer follows the periods and prices in your contract. The PVPC minimum is therefore not automatically your cheapest billed hour.

Find the cheapest usable window today

Check the date and data status above, then open the electricity planner. Set the full duration of your appliance cycle or charge. Compare a window you can actually use: a low price at a time that has already passed cannot help with tonight’s laundry.

A daily average is not your household rate

The displayed average gives each available hour equal weight. Your own energy cost depends on how many kWh you use in each hour. Using more electricity during expensive hours can put your effective rate above that simple average.
