The price of electricity has been high this week due to low wind power production. The taxable average price of electricity on Saturday is about 11.3 cents per kilowatt hour, a slight drop from Thursday’s average of 16.3 cents per kilowatt hour. At its highest, electricity cost over 24 cents per kilowatt hour on Thursday. Even on Friday, the average price of exchange electricity including taxes is about 14.5 cents per kilowatt hour, rising to more than 18 cents due to low wind power production.

On Saturday, the taxed price of electricity remains at more than 10 cents per kilowatt hour for most of the day, but at its most expensive, electricity costs “only” 16.12 cents per kilowatt hour including taxes after 5 p.m. The lowest price of electricity is at midnight on the night before Saturday and Sunday when it costs about 7.3 cents per kilowatt hour including taxes. This is expensive compared to the average price in November which was only 7.3 cents per kilowatt hour
