Now electricity is again cheapest at night.

The dark time reverses when it is cheapest to wash clothes, charge the electric car, or run the dishwasher.

And while in the spring it was typically cheapest in the middle of the day because solar cells produced the most electricity during that period, at this time of year it is usually best to use electricity at night.

- At this time of year, when we don't see much of the sun, it is the wind and the low consumption during the night hours that push electricity prices down. So if you can move some of your consumption to the night, it is a good idea, says Troels Skipper, who is commercial director at the energy company OK, in a press release.

However, electricity prices can be pushed down in the middle of the day on days when the sun shines, so the company recommends that you keep an eye on the prices continuously.

How do you save the most electricity?

-----------------------------

* Fill the washing machine and dishwasher completely

* Use the eco programs

* Hang the clothes to dry instead of using the dryer when possible

* As far as possible, move electricity consumption such as charging the electric car, laundry, and dishwashing to the cheap hours

* Turn off lights and electronics when not in use

Remember between 00-06

September and October have generally seen higher electricity prices.

And in winter, there are also winter tariffs on the charges from the grid companies, which make electricity more expensive during peak hours, such as in the evening between 5-9 PM.

As a rule, electricity is cheapest between 00 and 06.

But there is also the world situation, which also affects electricity prices this autumn and winter season, and prices are expected to be somewhat higher this season, says OK.

- Throughout the winter, electricity prices are still expected to remain relatively high. Gas prices have risen, gas storage in Europe is relatively low, and when the cold sets in, the demand for electricity increases.

OK writes that despite the prospect of higher prices, it is far from the very high price level seen in 2022 during the energy crisis.

- The forecasts currently show a mild start to winter, and that will help the electricity price, it says.
