EV charging planner: find the cheapest time to charge Tariff check: is a dynamic tariff worth it for me?

How the Danish price is set

Denmark has two bidding zones: West Denmark (DK1, Jutland and Funen) and East Denmark (DK2, Zealand and the islands). The price can differ when the Great Belt link is congested.

On top of the spot price, Danish households pay their grid company's time-of-use tariff, Energinet's transmission and system tariffs, electricity tax and 25% VAT. The electricity tax has been cut to the EU minimum of 0.8 øre per kWh for 2026 and 2027.

Our final price uses the tariffs the grid companies and Energinet report to DataHub. By default we use N1 for West Denmark and Radius for East Denmark – you can pick your own grid company at the top of the page.

FAQ

When are tomorrow's prices published?

The day-ahead auction closes at 12:00 CET. Results are normally available from about 12:45–13:30 CET, and this site picks them up automatically.

Why are prices sometimes negative?

When wind and solar output is high and demand is low, some producers cannot or will not reduce output. The market then clears below zero. Whether you benefit depends on your contract.

Is the final price exactly what I pay?

No – it is an estimate built from official taxes and charges plus a sample supplier margin. Your own contract, grid area and fixed fees can differ.
