The days ahead

Each day compared with the last 60 days in this zone — not against a fixed price.

Days marked “settled”are the published day-ahead prices, not a forecast — the auction has already cleared, so the label is simply where that day sits against this zone's last 60 days. We do not publish a forecast for Latvia — it has never measured well enough to rank ordinary days here, so you get the days the market has settled and nothing beyond them. How we measure this.

Find a cheap stretch

How long do you need the power on?

Cheapest 2 hours · Sunday04:00 – 06:00avg 2.8 ct/kWh — 87% under today's peak hour

Highest-value hours to export

The dearest unbroken stretch — when sending power back, or discharging a battery instead of importing, is worth the most.

Dearest 2 hours · Saturday20:00 – 22:00avg 21.8 ct/kWh

This is the day-ahead market price, not your feed-in compensation. What you are actually paid to export depends on your contract — spot-linked payments follow this curve, a fixed feed-in rate ignores it, and where net metering still applies the question does not arise.

Why today looks like this

The forecast behind the label — the same numbers the category was decided on.

Wind & solar share of demand37%

The more of the day's demand wind and solar cover, the less fuel-burning plant has to run — and that is the first-order reason a day is cheap or dear.
