In 2025, Denmark looks set to break a record for hours with negative electricity prices. According to NRGi, the first three months have already seen periods where electricity is so cheap that producers pay consumers to take away excess electricity.
This is what Avisen Danmark writes.
In Western Denmark, electricity prices have been below zero for 29 hours, an increase of 45 percent. compared to last year. In Eastern Denmark, only 17 hours of negative electricity prices were recorded.
Although electricity is technically free, it is not always noticeable on the electricity bill. Several of the year's lowest prices were measured in the middle of the day, when solar cells are running at full capacity, which breaks with the widespread idea that electricity is cheapest at night.
– Negative electricity prices can be an advantage for consumers who want to cut their electricity bills, says Bo Halm Andersen, energy consultant at NRGi. – But this requires that you keep an eye on the prices during the day. Then you can plan when it is most profitable to use electricity, he says.
However, consumers with fixed-price agreements will not be able to take advantage of the price fluctuations.
