Hourly price expected to drop to -5 euro cent per kWh during the day. I am doing my best to save money but 5kW load is best I can do right now (car is already charged). Before you jump to conclusions:

  1. Yes, you can have hourly day ahead subscription, many Swedes do.
  2. There is a fixed tax on every kWh (around 7 euro cent/kWh) so for electricity to truly be ’free’, spot price needs to dip under that.

  2. Wait, are you trying to waste as much power as possible (and make a little money) or is 5.5kw you trying to save energy?

  4. If you built a bitcoin farm manifold, you could have added another cent on top of that

  5. 52,42 öre/kW average in April so far, spent 454 kWh in April (1105 kWh for Mars)

  7. In the UK, my Octopus Agile cost is currently -3.55p/kWh and in a few hours it’s going to drop to -8.82p/kWh %)

  8. Is this special in Sweden? I thought you had a very green energy mix already?

    Here in the Netherlands I am currently at -7ct per kWh and this is already the so manieth day this has happened this year. Come summer it will basically be the case near everyday.

  10. Were are having negative prices like every other day in Finland right now. It’s pretty sweet.

  11. These situations are absurd, we must stop the development of intermittent energies that create instability in the electrical grid.

  13. In NL it’s -€0.05 right now… But then: BAM TAXES. €0.09

  17. Sweden should use its excess electricity to make hydrogen or replenish water reserves for their dams.

  18. Would charging batteries at this time help? And then use the charge when the power goes to a positive again?

  19. just paid a £200 bill for my flat in the UK 🙁

  21. Are the European grids not connected so the excess can be sold to other countries like Germany or others? USA and Canada have interconnected grid so some utilities buy or sell electricity when it is favorable for them

  22. I’m really trying to understand what’s going on but can’t wrap my mind around it. Can somebody please explain

  23. Society as a whole, and definitely not the energy industry specifically, did something wrong when the price of energy is negative. This is not sustainable.

  25. That’s a fever dream for Greece. They drain our wallets. They charge way above the EU average.

  26. Tibber is awesome, saving so much when charging my EV!

    Last year on one day we had -50ct price per kWh and that already took the fees in German network into account!

  31. This is so nice to see. Is there a good data set on electricity prices in europe and when they go negative?

  32. So tomorrow it dips below the Tax so we will officially be paid to use electric for 2 hours tomorrow.
