Sunday, August 23rd, presents an atypical day in the electricity market, with eight consecutive hours of negative or near-zero prices. High solar production during midday has caused this drop, making it the ideal time to run appliances and reduce expenses.
Between 10:00 AM and 6:00 PM, the cost of electricity will be minimal, reaching -2.1 euros/MWh between 1:00 PM and 3:00 PM. This situation, described as 'almost free price,' encourages planning the use of washing machines, dishwashers, and other high-consumption appliances.
Conversely, electricity will become significantly more expensive from 8:00 PM onwards. The peak price will be reached between 9:00 PM and 10:00 PM, at 164.44 euros/MWh. High costs are also expected throughout the early morning hours, until 8:00 AM.
Experts recommend avoiding high consumption during peak evening and early morning hours to maximize savings on the bill, especially for those with a regulated PVPC tariff.
