BUND Darmstadt will provide information on dynamic electricity prices and variable network charges on November 10th – participation is also possible online
How can variable electricity prices and grid fees reduce your own electricity costs? This question will be addressed in a lecture by BUND Darmstadt on Tuesday, November 10, 2026, at 7 p.m. at the BUND Center for Urban Nature. The event, located at Klappacher Straße 27, can also be followed online.
Until now, many electricity customers have paid a fixed monthly base fee plus a fixed price per kilowatt-hour of electricity consumed. However, energy suppliers now also offer dynamic electricity tariffs, where the price per kilowatt-hour is based on current electricity exchange prices.
This opens up new possibilities to shift electricity consumption to times of low prices and thus save costs.
Use electricity when it's cheaper
With dynamic electricity tariffs, the price of electricity changes depending on the current market situation. For example, periods with a high supply of renewable energies can lead to lower wholesale electricity prices.
Those who can control their electricity consumption accordingly may be able to profit from these price fluctuations.
In addition to the actual electricity prices, network charges also play a role. These are levied for the transport of electricity through the local power grids.
Distribution network operators are required to offer an additional time-variable network charge scheme. This can result in further savings opportunities.
What costs and savings are possible?
The presentation explains how dynamic electricity tariffs and variable network charges work and what conditions apply to their use.
The aim is also to clarify what costs will be incurred and what savings in electricity consumption are actually possible.
The event is aimed at anyone interested in better understanding their electricity bill and learning about new tariff models.
