If you choose our Mäi Stroum dynamic tariff, the price you pay for your electricity follows the evolution of the EPEX SPOT wholesale market.
The EPEX SPOT (European Power Exchange) Day‑Ahead market is the main short‑term electricity trading platform in Europe. It is used by producers and suppliers to submit their bids and offers on a daily basis. The “Day‑Ahead” price is therefore the equilibrium price set for each fifteen‑minute interval of the following day. Prices are published around 2 p.m. for the next day.
The EPEX SPOT price can vary significantly from one quarter‑hour to the next and from one day to another, depending on several factors:
- Weather conditions (sunshine, wind, temperatures)
- Forecast electricity consumption
- Availability of production capacities
- International electricity exchanges
