    the electricity spot price is actually expected to be pretty low here (Denmark) during the solar eclipse Wednesday

    I see a huge price spike at 19.45-20.15 with the solar eclipse peaking at 20.05 (DK time).

      Yes the actual price changed dramatically compared to the prognosis yesterday. It’s the worst prognosis I’ve ever seen.
      I guess the British were right.
      Well so much the better to be able to run off our battery.

        Battery-Brothers 🤜🤛

        And yes, the price hike for the time is not anything I’ve seen before like that

          I agree the hike is high, but what I meant was the difference in prognoses and reality. The prognosis was about half the real price.
          Luckily some of us have batteries, and we help keep peak prices lower. 😎👍 🫸🫷
