The advantage of keeping up with the electricity price hourly is that you have the opportunity to plan for a lower electricity bill. When you download the app, you can see that there can be a significant difference in electricity prices throughout a day. In addition to being able to see the price hourly, it is also possible to see the daily average price as well as the highest and lowest price per day.

You should be aware that it is necessary to have a variable electricity agreement with your electricity company in order to take advantage of the cheaper electricity prices. If you have a fixed-price agreement, the price remains the same regardless of the time of day you use it. If you are unsure if you have the optimal electricity agreement, you can always compare the different electricity companies' agreements by entering your address on Elberegner.dk.

It is both financially and often most environmentally friendly to time your usage for the hours when the price is lowest. Therefore, it can be a good idea to wait to start your washing machine, dryer, or other major 'power guzzlers' during the hours of the day when you can take advantage of a lower price. As a rule of thumb, you will notice that prices are typically highest from 5-9 p.m. The reason for this is that it is during that time frame when most Danes' consumption is at its peak.
