Electricity futures prices
The price of electricity for coming months and years as it is bought and sold right now on the derivatives exchange. These are the market's current view — not a forecast of what electricity will end up costing.
Exchange prices are VAT-free, as this is trading between companies. On this page 25,5 % VAT has been added so the figures are comparable with the other prices on the site. The figure is energy only: the seller's margin, transfer and electricity tax come on top.
Months
For a finished month the figure is not an expectation but what electricity actually cost. The running month is still a market price, because it has not ended.

This is the row to hold a fixed-price offer against. A fixed price is usually above it — the seller takes on the risk of prices rising.

Energy only, for the period a contract signed now would cover. A fixed offer is usually above this: the seller takes on the risk of prices rising. The standing charge, transfer and electricity tax come on top.
Has the market been right?
A futures price is the market's estimate at the time, not a forecast that comes true as such. The percentage compares the last price before the month began with what the month actually cost. The comparison point is the same for every month, so the rows compare with each other.
All completed months (3)
| Month | Estimate just before | Outcome | Difference |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sep 2026 | 9,83 | 7,15 | 37 % too high |
| Aug 2026 | 4,70 | 5,18 | 9 % too low |
| Jul 2026 | 4,03 | 1,93 | 109 % too high |
The comparison figure is the last futures settlement before delivery started — the market's final view before the month began. This is the shortest distance, and its answer can differ sharply from the longer ones: the closer to delivery, the less is left to guess.
How the price has moved

| Year 2027 | 7,59 | 7,65 | +1 % |
The baseline is 30 days ago (08/09). The window is fixed, so the figure means the same thing every day. If you are considering a fixed contract, this tells you whether you would be locking into a rising or a falling price.
