    Thats basically how its done in most of Europe. Price changes every 15 minutes and some smart system starting washing machines etc if a certain threshhold is reached.

    Of course you can also get a hedged contract where you pay a fixed price and don’t need to care about it, but you have the choice.

      Uh, in my part of Europe we don’t have 15-minute changes, that would be a nightmare.

      You can have a contract where the day is split in 3 or 4 different rates, so that it’s cheaper to run your washing machine at night for instance.
