What time is it cheapest to run the washing machine today

The two cheapest consecutive hours are from 10:00 to 12:00. There is also room for those who prefer to wait until after lunch: from 14:00 to 15:00 the second-lowest price of the day is recorded, −0.01546 €/kWh, and the 15:00 to 16:00 slot remains negative. These prices correspond to the energy consumed; the bill also includes items such as the contracted power and taxes.

The jump comes starting at 16:00. During the first hour of the afternoon outside the negative slot, electricity costs 0.09789 €/kWh. At 17:00 it already reaches 0.27012 €/kWh and between 18:00 and 21:00 the three most expensive hours are concentrated. If consumption is 2 kWh, shifting it from the most expensive hour to the cheapest one means a difference of about 69 cents in the energy term, before taxes.
