Energy prices have risen sharply recently, and many may have noticed that their electricity bills have become more expensive.
But the sunshine and light breeze from the north will cause prices to drop to zero around 2 p.m. on Saturday, as the energy will also produce fewer carbon dioxide emissions per kilowatt-hour than usual, so the energy can be described as green.
Therefore, you can set up an electric car to charge or start up electrical appliances such as washing machines or dishwashers at almost zero cost, as the cost is very low in both eastern and western Denmark. So if you have a variable hourly rate, which is available to many residents, you can save money as well as carbon dioxide.
The cost will start to rise again from 5 pm to 8 pm as carbon dioxide emissions increase because the solar cells are no longer producing electricity, and many people are running the oven and television at home in the living rooms.
One of the factors that makes weekends often have cheap and green electricity is that Denmark consumes less electricity, as businesses and institutions are largely closed.
Production from wind turbines and solar cells will increase until after 2 pm today, and any excess electricity produced in Denmark is usually exported to neighboring countries.
In Norway, for example, there is a lot of hydroelectric power which they can shut down on days when they can import cheap electricity from Denmark, for example, and in this way they can save production for days when the weather is not stormy.
Electricity prices vary hour by hour, but you can expect a very low cost of green energy over the next few hours.
