Tarifmodel 3.0 explained
Tarifmodel 3.0 is the structure most Danish grid companies use for household grid tariffs. It splits the day into three bands:
- Low: 00–06
- High: 06–17 and 21–24
- Peak: 17–21
Prices are higher in winter (October–March) than in summer. Each grid company sets its own prices within the model.
Why there is a peak
The local grid is busiest in the early evening, when people come home, cook and plug in their cars. A high price from 17 to 21 pays for the grid capacity that peak needs, and rewards moving use to other hours.
