One quite unique thing in Finland is our spot electricty price. I think Sweden and Norway also has this?
Basically consumers in these countries have access to the raw eletricity market, and can buy power in one hour increments at the market rate.
This can be very beneficial for the consumer if you can adjust your consumption profile
- robin_reala 2y agoYep, I have this with Tibber[1] in Sweden. We haven’t hugely changed how we consume electricity for small stuff, but for bigger things like car charging or even things like pyrolytic cleaning of the oven it’s easy to pick times when the prices are low, especially at the moment when electricity often goes down to near-zero or even negative.

- matsemann 2y agoYup, and in Norway where 90% of new cars are electric and about 50 % of personal vehicles on the road now are electric, we're charging them a lot. Which most people now schedule to happen at nighttime to save money.
