What does it cost to run right now? — West Denmark, Denmark
A price per kilowatt-hour is hard to feel. A price per wash is not. The table below converts the current electricity price into what it actually costs to run everyday things, and shows the same figure at today’s cheapest and most expensive hour so the gap is visible rather than theoretical. The consumption figures are typical values for a modern appliance, so treat the result as a good approximation rather than a meter reading.
