Risks and benefits of dynamic tariffs side by side

Risks and benefits side by side

Dynamic tariffs offer clear benefits, but also come with risks. This article puts them side by side so you can present a realistic demo.

Benefits

• Transparency: you see exactly what the market is doing and what you pay.
• Saving potential: by steering usage smartly you can structurally lower your costs.
• Sustainability: you shift usage to moments with abundant renewable generation.

Risks

• Price volatility: in some periods prices can temporarily spike.
• Complexity: you are exposed to more information than with a fixed-price contract.
• Behaviour change: without willingness to adjust usage, the savings effect remains limited.

Leafy Energy is designed to maximise the visibility of benefits while keeping risks manageable through alerts, dashboards, and clear communication.
