What is a dynamic electricity tariff?

A dynamic electricity tariff adjusts to price fluctuations on the electricity exchange rather than charging a fixed rate per kilowatt-hour. Unlike conventional tariffs, where the electricity price remains constant, a dynamic tariff aligns with hourly price changes determined by supply and demand. With a dynamic electricity tariff, you pay the current purchase price on the electricity exchange, to which statutory charges such as taxes and levies, as well as a surcharge from the electricity provider, are added.

In this explanatory video, we briefly explain what a dynamic electricity tariff is and how consumers can use dynamic electricity tariffs for heat to sustainably reduce their energy costs.

The simulation above shows the electricity market prices (EPEX Spot, 60 min, Day-Ahead) excluding VAT for various countries. Please note that these are not end-customer prices. For example, the HOURLY tariff from the Austrian energy provider aWATTar adds additional costs to the displayed market prices, such as a balancing energy component of 3% of the market price, a procurement component of 1.5 cents/kWh, as well as regional grid fees and balancing energy components. These additional components are not considered in the simulation shown below. Furthermore, a VAT rate of 20% is applied to all components.
