What this page shows
Electricity on a market (dynamic) tariff does not cost the same all day.
The price is set the day before on the Nord Pool exchange and changes every
15 minutes, so the same dishwasher costs a different amount at 03:00 than at 19:00 —
sometimes several times more.
The big number is the price right now. The ring shows all 24 hours at once:
longer, redder segments are expensive hours, shorter green ones are cheap. Hover or tap any
hour to read it.
Is this the price I actually pay?
In home mode, yes — enter your own supplier margin, VAT and fixed tariff
under “Your tariff”, and everything is recalculated in ct/kWh including those. Until you do,
the page compares against a typical Lithuanian tariff and says so. Fixed monthly fees are
excluded, because they are the same whichever tariff you are on.
Pro mode drops the taxes and shows the raw exchange price in EUR/MWh,
plus what is driving it: cross-border flows, neighbouring countries' prices, and how much
demand wind and solar did not cover.
When is it cheapest?
Usually at night, and around midday when solar output peaks. The most expensive hours are
typically the evening, roughly 18:00–22:00, when solar has stopped but demand has not. Wind
can overturn this completely on any given day — which is why it is worth looking at the real
curve rather than relying on habit.
Does a market tariff pay off?
It depends on when you use electricity, not how much. It suits households that
can move some consumption — laundry, dishwasher, water heater, EV charging — into cheap
hours. If most of your use is unavoidably in the evening peak, a fixed tariff may be calmer.
