The usage per run is an example value. Change it for your own appliance; you can find it in the manual or on the energy label. We calculate as if the appliance uses power evenly over the block.
The prices come from the EPEX Spot day-ahead auction for the Dutch bidding zone. That auction takes place the day before, around 12:00 CEST; the result is also published on the ENTSO-E Transparency Platform. Since 1 October 2025 the day-ahead market sets a price per quarter-hour; this page shows the hourly prices that EnergyZero publishes. Some suppliers bill per quarter-hour, so check your contract.
