Dynamic tariffs as an attractive product for consumers

With the introduction of dynamic electricity tariffs from 2025, consumers will have new, flexible options for optimizing their energy consumption and saving costs. Suppliers of electricity supply companies will offer these dynamic tariffs by purchasing electricity dynamically and adapting the tariffs to customers' needs. 

These innovative tariffs adapt to current electricity prices and therefore offer considerable savings potential. In this article, we show how dynamic electricity tariffs can be made attractive for customers and which energy add-ons from ROCKETHOME play a role in this.

What are dynamic electricity tariffs?

Dynamic electricity tariffs are flexible tariff models that adjust the electricity price to current market conditions in real time. In contrast to fixed electricity tariffs, which offer a constant price, dynamic tariffs vary according to supply and demand in the electricity grid. The advantage of dynamic tariffs is that they allow consumers to shift their energy consumption at times of low prices and thus save costs.

This allows consumers to shift their energy consumption at times of low prices and thus save costs. Such tariffs are also known as variable electricity tariffs or flexible electricity tariffs and offer a high degree of adaptability to individual needs.

Advantages of dynamic electricity tariffs

Flexible electricity tariffs offer a number of advantages for consumers:

• Cost savings: Significant savings can be made by using electricity when prices are low.
• Environmentally friendly: Adapting consumption to times of high renewable energy feed-in supports more sustainable energy use. By adapting electricity consumption to the availability of renewable energy sources, electricity consumption can be optimized and specifically placed in favorable time windows.
• Flexibility and adaptability: Consumers can adapt their energy consumption to their individual lifestyles and thus make it more efficient.
• E-car integration: For owners of e-cars in particular, dynamic electricity tariffs offer the opportunity to charge the vehicle at more favorable times and thus reduce electricity costs.

Frequently asked questions (FAQ)

What are dynamic electricity tariffs and how do they work?

Dynamic electricity tariffs are flexible tariff models that adjust the electricity price to current market conditions in real time. In contrast to fixed electricity tariffs, which offer a constant price, dynamic electricity tariffs vary according to supply and demand in the electricity grid and prices on the electricity exchange. By using a smart meter, households can adapt their electricity consumption to fluctuating electricity prices and thus save costs.

What are the advantages of dynamic electricity tariffs for households?

Dynamic electricity tariffs offer several advantages for households. Firstly, they enable cost savings by shifting electricity consumption to times when electricity prices are low. This is particularly advantageous for users of electric cars, who can charge their vehicle more cheaply. In addition, dynamic electricity tariffs support the energy transition as they promote the use of renewable energy sources and enable more environmentally friendly energy use.

What are the requirements for using dynamic electricity tariffs?

To be able to use dynamic electricity tariffs, households need a smart meter that records electricity consumption in real time. In addition, a suitable electricity contract must be concluded with an energy provider that offers dynamic tariffs.

Are there also challenges with dynamic electricity tariffs?

Yes, dynamic electricity tariffs can also pose challenges. One potential challenge is adapting energy consumption to varying electricity prices, which some users may find inconvenient. In addition, electricity costs can be unpredictable as they depend on current exchange prices. It is important to keep a good overview of your own electricity consumption and, if necessary, use automatic control of consumers to take full advantage of the benefits.

How can dynamic electricity tariffs help to reduce electricity costs?

Dynamic electricity tariffs offer considerable savings potential by shifting electricity consumption to times of low prices on the electricity exchange. For example, households with photovoltaic systems can feed surplus electricity into the grid at high exchange prices and thus earn additional money. The use of energy-intensive appliances, such as washing machines or electric cars, can also be shifted to times when electricity prices are lower, which reduces electricity costs per kilowatt hour. Overall, households can make significant savings by flexibly adapting their consumption to current electricity prices.
