Weekly patterns: differences between weekdays and weekends

Weekly patterns in dynamic tariffs

When you observe dynamic prices over a longer period, weekly patterns often emerge. This helps you think ahead instead of reacting in the moment.

Typical differences

• Weekdays: often higher prices during morning and evening peaks.
• Weekends: often flatter or lower prices, depending on supply and demand.
• Nights: relatively low prices, especially when there’s plenty of offshore wind.

How can you use this?

• Plan high-consumption activities (big laundry loads, boilers, EV charging) more in weekends or late evenings.
• Use Leafy Energy automations to switch between weekday and weekend profiles automatically.

In Leafy Energy’s charts you can easily switch between day, week, and month views to spot these patterns.
