How does dynamic pricing work?
A dynamic rate is a rate that varies according to market prices. This changes hour by hour and varies every day according to the EPEX Spot market, the European electricity exchange. In Luxembourg, EPEX Spot market prices follow fluctuations on the German market.
Dynamic pricing depends heavily on demand. This is because periods of high demand can result in higher rates, while periods of low demand can offer cheaper rates. Depending on when you consume your electricity, at peak times or off-peak times, the price may therefore differ.
When analyzing a typical day, certain periods of the day may be more advantageous than others.
How can I optimize my budget with dynamic pricing?
Spot prices vary every day of the year and every hour of the day according to supply and demand. This presents both opportunities and risks for the customer. When demand for electricity is low, market prices tend to decrease, while at peak times, when demand is higher, customers are likely to pay higher prices than at a traditional tariff.
By consulting the EPEX Spot market regularly, you can plan and adjust your consumption to benefit from lower prices during reduced prices periods.
If you have smart electrical appliances that allow you to adapt your consumption to fluctuations in hourly prices on the wholesale market, you can take advantage of low hourly prices and avoid high hourly prices, thereby optimising the cost of your electricity consumption.
Is dynamic naturstroum right for me?
Dynamic pricing is advantageous if you can plan your consumption, for example by having many programmable electrical installations. It is therefore ideal if you have the following facilities:
- A home charging station, which offers the possibility of recharging your electric car at the cheapest times
- Smart home automation, which allows you to optimise your home energy use
- A programmable heat pump to regulate the temperature inside
- Solar panels and a smart battery, which allows you to store the electricity produced and consume it at times when the price per kilowatt hour is at a peak, or inject the surplus into the network

Once you have selected your contract, go to the “Consumption/Production” section. Select the desired start and end dates for the period, adjust the data frequency if needed (hourly, daily, …), click on “Download .csv,” and then click on “Download.”
To reduce the impact on your bill, it is recommended to limit simultaneous use of energy-intensive electrical devices. Here are some daily tips:
- Reduce simultaneous use of energy-intensive devices: Plan their usage (oven, dishwasher, washing machine) by spreading them throughout the day.
- Use off-peak hours: Operate appliances (washing machine, dryer, dishwasher) during your “off-peak hours” (periods when electricity demand is lower). Timers can help automate their operation during these periods.
- Optimize electric vehicle charging: Reduce charging power and spread it over time to limit consumption peaks in your household.
- Eliminate unnecessary standby devices: Unplug devices not in use.
- Regularly monitor your consumption: Use the MyEnovos mobile app or customer portal (my.leoenergy) to better understand and adjust your usage.
You can also use the simulator available on my.creos.net (you’ll need an account, which can be created in a few steps) to evaluate the impacts based on your consumption habits.
By consulting the daily and hourly price variations available on your customer portal account, you can adapt your consumption by defining the best times for your major consumption (electric car charging or other), as well as the times to avoid. For further details, you can also visit the EPEX market page.
A negative price means that the price per kWh is less than €0. The amount is therefore in your favor. This can happen but is still rare.
If you are an electricity producer, please be aware that, according to your contract, you may be subject to “Production fee”. This means that in the event of a negative price (in €), you will be charged for the offtake of the production injected during that period.
As a self-consumer, you have access to the dynamic rate under the same conditions as a grid-consumer customer.
If the majority of your consumption takes place during peak consumption hours, you will experience high prices and your bill will be impacted. For this reason, dynamic naturstroum is interesting if you are equipped with programmable devices that allow you to program their operation during off-peak hours.
With a fixed tariff, the price of energy is constant over a defined period. This type of pricing is simple and predictable. With dynamic pricing, the price varies based on demand and market prices. This allows you to adapt your consumption to maximize use when prices are most advantageous.
You can subscribe to dynamic pricing at any time. To do this, contact our serviceline, and an agent will take care of sending you your contract. The dynamic naturstroum supply will begin on the 1st of the month following the signing of your contract.
Please note: The process of changing supplier may impact the date of the first supply in dynamic naturstroum.
