Today's Electricity Prices in Sweden - A Mix of Free and Expensive

Today, April 13, 2025, electricity prices in Sweden have varied significantly throughout the day. During the early morning hours, between 12:00 PM and 3:00 PM, electricity prices have dropped to negative levels, meaning it is actually free to use electricity during these hours. For example, from 1:00 PM to 1:59 PM, the price was -3.21 öre per kWh, which means you are effectively being paid to use electricity.

Free Electricity Usage during Today's Cheapest Hour

During the cheapest hour today, between 1:00 PM and 1:59 PM, you can enjoy free electricity. It costs nothing to take a bath, shower, charge your car, or play games during this hour. A shower that consumes 4 kWh of energy would normally cost, but during this hour, you actually earn 12 öre. Charging an electric car, which can otherwise be an expensive affair, gives you back 1.92 kronor instead.

Today's Most Expensive Hour

On the other hand, during today's most expensive hour, between 10:00 PM and 10:59 PM, the electricity price rises to 36.14 öre per kWh. This means that a bath, which consumes 6 kWh of energy, costs 3.84 kronor. Charging the electric car during this hour would cost a whopping 38.46 kronor.

Tomorrow's Electricity Prices - A Change in Sight

Tomorrow, April 14, 2025, electricity prices are expected to rise compared to today's levels. Prices will start low overnight but increase significantly during the day.

Expected Price Increase during the Day

Tomorrow, prices will climb from 3.01 öre per kWh at midnight to a full 64.12 öre per kWh in the evening, between 8:00 PM and 8:59 PM. This means that electricity consumption during the evening hours could become significantly more expensive than usual.

Free Electricity during the Night Hours

Interestingly, between 10:00 PM and 10:59 PM tomorrow, the electricity price will once again drop to zero. This means it is free to use electricity during this hour, which could be an excellent opportunity for night owls to take advantage of.

Curiosities about Electricity Prices and Energy Usage

If we had had the lowest electricity price all year, it would have cost -577 kronor to heat a normal-sized house of 160 sqm. This highlights the potential savings that can be made with smart electricity usage and planning.

In summary, today's and tomorrow's electricity prices offer both opportunities and challenges for Swedish households. With the right timing, one can take advantage of moments when electricity is free or even provides a rebate, while being cautious during the hours when prices rise significantly.
