Cheapest Weekdays

This table shows the average electricity prices for each day of the week in each month of the year. The color coding shows you at a glance which days in a given month are the cheapest.

Use this information to run larger appliances on the cheapest days of the week to save additional costs.

Example: It may be more cost-effective to run large appliances like the washing machine or dryer only on weekends. This allows you to make the most of the savings potential.
