“There may be money to save”

« There can be money to be saved by following the development of electricity prices closely, and here in May they have many electricity customers who have checked the daily prices in Norly’s energy app, had good reason to smile, because we have had a lot of periods when prices have been completely at the bottom. Director of Norlys’ energy business.

Beating a year old record

When May has been so generous with negative electricity prices, it is mainly due to the hot weather with lots of sunshine hours.

There is more and more wind and solar energy in the energy system, and at the same time the Danish electricity grid has been more connected to the European electricity grids, where Germany and the Netherlands in particular have expanded solar energy in recent years.

« The record has primarily come home thanks to the many hours of sunshine that we have had here in May, where the drought index has also been high. At the same time, electricity consumption has generally been low because the Danes have enjoyed the hot spring weather and therefore not used power for heating. Brøgger.

We need to go back to May last year to find the monthly monthly record. Here, electricity customers could enjoy a total of 134 hours with negative electricity prices.

As you know, there are still a few days left of May, and therefore the record can potentially be further expanded if the sun shows its face again.
