Why do hourly prices vary so much?
With dynamic tariffs you may see huge differences between two consecutive hours. That can feel strange, but it’s a direct result of how the market works.
Key drivers
- Supply and demand: lots of sun or wind can push prices down for several hours.
- Imports and exports: cross-border flows affect the price hour by hour.
- Grid congestion: constraints on the grid can push local prices up.
Leafy Energy’s approach
- Price alerts help you automatically avoid very expensive spikes.
- The app uses colour bands (green = cheap, red = expensive) to show tension levels.
- Dashboards reveal which time-of-day is structurally cheaper for you.
Instead of letting price spikes scare you, Leafy Energy turns them into signals you can use to plan more intelligently.
