Usage

No API key required. Elecz is a public read-only API.

Example: Current spot price

  1. Operation: Spot Price
  2. Zone: AU-NSW
  3. Returns: price, unit, signal level (low / medium / high / spike)

Example: Cheapest hours automation

  1. Operation: Cheapest Hours
  2. Zone: DE
  3. Hours needed: 3
  4. Connect output to an IF node using current_hour_is_cheap (boolean) as the trigger

Useful fields for automation:

Field Use
current_hour_is_cheap Boolean — wire directly into IF node
hours_until_next_cheap How long to wait before the next cheap window
cheap_window_ends When the current cheap window closes
cheap_hours_remaining_today How many cheap hours are left today

Home automation: EV charging, washing machine, dishwasher, heat pump, battery charging.

Industrial & business: The same signals work at any scale. Schedule pumping stations, compressors, refrigeration units, or batch processes during the cheapest hours. A factory running a 50 kW pump 6 hours a day can save thousands of euros per year by shifting load to off-peak windows — with no changes to the process, just the schedule. Other use cases: ML training jobs, backup pipelines, cold storage pre-cooling, and battery arbitrage (charge cheap, discharge expensive).

Example: Contract comparison

  1. Operation: Best Energy Contract
  2. Zone: GB
  3. Consumption: 2700 kWh/year
  4. Returns: best spot and fixed contracts with estimated annual savings
