Spot-price optimization
SmartPrices
Run the big loads when energy is cheapest. Electrification only pays off if you run on the cheap hours. SmartPrices follows the spot price by the hour and shifts your heavy loads — electric boilers, compressors, cooling — to when energy costs least, automatically. For high-consumption sites, the savings can run into the millions.
Spot-price optimization
Plan consumption around the cheap hours
See the electricity price hour by hour, with data straight from Energinet, and plan consumption around the cheapest windows. SmartPrices knows what every hour costs before it arrives — so the heavy loads run when power is cheap and ease off when it’s expensive.
Resource optimization
Electrification, done profitably
Switching from gas to electricity only makes sense if you use electricity when it’s cheap. SmartPrices supports exactly that transition: run on electricity when it pays, fall back to gas when it doesn’t. The system makes the call for each hour.
Stay on top of planning
Shift the big loads to cheap power
Electric boilers, compressors and cooling plants are run when energy is cheap — automatically, by price. These are the loads big enough to move the bill, and flexible enough to shift in time without affecting production. SmartPrices turns that flexibility into savings.
ROI
Savings that scale with your load
For a site with big, flexible loads, moving consumption to the cheap hours is real money — on high-consumption plants the savings can reach into the millions per year. The bigger and more flexible your load, the more there is to capture. We size the opportunity with you on real consumption data before anything is installed.
The optimisation layer on top of your energy data
SmartPrices works best where TrendENERGY already gives you the full picture of consumption. Where TrendENERGY shows what you use, SmartPrices acts on it — shifting the flexible loads to the cheapest hours. Together they turn energy from a cost you watch into one you actively manage. A natural next step for energy-heavy sites already on the platform.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is spot-price optimisation?
Spot-price optimisation means running flexible energy loads when the hourly electricity price is lowest. SmartPrices follows the spot price from Energinet and automatically shifts heavy consumption to the cheapest hours.
Who is SmartPrices for?
Sites with big, flexible energy loads — electric boilers, compressors, large cooling plants — and companies electrifying from gas to electricity. The more flexible consumption you have, the more there is to save.
How much can we save?
It scales with your load. For high-consumption plants the savings can reach into the millions per year. We size it on your real consumption data before anything is installed, so the case is concrete, not a guess.
Does it help with electrification?
Yes — it’s built for it. SmartPrices runs on electricity when it’s cheap and gas when it isn’t, so switching from gas to electricity lowers cost and CO2 instead of raising the bill.
Where does the price data come from?
Directly from Energinet — the hourly spot price — so the optimisation runs on the actual market price, updated automatically.
