If we had the lowest electricity price of the day for the entire year, it would cost 6,802 kronor to heat a normal-sized house of 160 sqm, with an annual energy consumption of 18,000 kWh. In contrast, if we had the highest electricity price of the day for the entire year, the cost would amount to 24,945 kronor.
The Impact of Electricity Prices
Electricity prices are influenced by many factors, including weather conditions, supply and demand, and international energy markets. Therefore, it is important to stay updated and adjust energy consumption according to the current prices.
Energy Saving Tips
To save energy and money, consider performing energy-intensive activities such as washing, dishwashing, or charging the electric car during the hours when electricity prices are at their lowest. By shifting these activities to the cheaper hours, households can significantly reduce their electricity bills.
Summary
With today's and tomorrow's electricity prices in mind, consumers can plan their energy use to take advantage of the lower prices and avoid the more expensive hours. By being aware of electricity prices, significant savings can be made on the electricity bill.
