The Electricity price widget draws the day-ahead price per hour for 22 European bidding zones (Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, France, Spain and more). The current hour is marked, the three cheapest hours are green and the most expensive red, so staff and visitors see at a glance when to charge, wash or run machines. Data comes from Energy-Charts by Fraunhofer ISE under the CC BY 4.0 licence, so there is nothing to sign up for.

What it does

  • 22 EU bidding zones, hourly prices for today and (from 16:00) tomorrow
  • Bars, list or a big "now" design with the next hours
  • Optional surcharge and VAT so the screen shows the all-in ct/kWh your tenants actually pay
  • Open data with attribution — no API key, no licence fee

Frequently asked questions

Is the price the one on my energy bill?

The source is the wholesale day-ahead market. Enter your supplier's surcharge (energy tax, margin) and VAT percentage in the panel and the widget shows the all-in price per kWh.

When does tomorrow's price appear?

Day-ahead prices are published around 13:00 CET. The widget adds tomorrow's hours from 16:00 onwards when you enable "show tomorrow".
