Tomorrow’s electricity price is set every day at noon Central European time in the European day-ahead auction, separately for each of the next day’s 96 quarter hours, and published shortly afterwards. The latest published day is 25 October 2026. In the German and Luxembourg zone the exchange price averages 1.3 ct/kWh, against 3.0 ct/kWh on 24 October 2026; the cheapest hour starts at 04:00 (-0.0 ct/kWh) and the dearest at 18:00 (6.5 ct/kWh). In the Dutch zone the average is 2.3 ct/kWh, with the cheapest hour at 13:00. Add a German household’s average grid fee, electricity tax, levies, concession fee and VAT, but no supplier markup, and the German range runs from about 20.6 ct/kWh to 28.3 ct/kWh; with Dutch energy tax and VAT the Dutch range is about 10.5 ct/kWh to 27.3 ct/kWh. Only customers on a dynamic tariff with a smart meter pay these prices directly, but the curve also shows when the grid is running on plenty of wind and solar power.

All zones are computed together in the same auction. Differences appear when the lines between countries are full: power can then be cheap in a windy zone and dear one border further on. Poland trades in złoty and has its own page, Poland electricity price. The figures come from Bundesnetzagentur | SMARD.de: wholesale electricity prices (CC BY 4.0).
How to read the day
The curve shows the all-in price of every quarter hour with your inputs. Enter the markup your supplier adds to the exchange price and, for Germany, your federal state for the grid fee; the default is the average from the Federal Network Agency and Federal Cartel Office: Monitoring Report 2025, table 25. The calculator adds electricity tax and VAT itself, and for the Netherlands the energy tax from the Environmental Taxes Act (Wbm), articles 59 and 63 (1 January 2026). To find the best start for an appliance across today and tomorrow, use cheapest hour; for a car, EV charging cost.
When “Tomorrow” still shows today
Before publication at around 1 pm there are no prices for the next day, so the calculator shows today and says so. We do not publish forecasts for tomorrow, because nobody is billed on them. Today’s hours in detail are on hourly electricity prices.
