Show your visitors what electricity costs today, hour by hour, on the Dutch day-ahead market. The cheapest two-hour block is highlighted, so people with a dynamic contract, solar panels, a heat pump or an electric car can see when to run the washing machine or charge the car.
- Block: add “Electricity price today” in the block editor (category Widgets).
- Shortcode:
[voltij_stroomprijs], or[voltij_stroomprijs theme="dark"]for a dark background. - Widget: “Electricity price today (Voltij)” for a sidebar or footer.
The image is updated every night shortly after midnight (Amsterdam time). If todayÌtumọ̀ Yorùbá: ’s prices are not available yet, the image says so. It never shows an invented number.
The prices are wholesale day-ahead prices for the Netherlands (source: ENTSO-E), without energy tax, VAT and supplier mark-up.
Good to know:
- No JavaScript and no cookies on your public site: it is a plain image.
- Your site does not fetch or store anything; your visitors’ browsers load the image from voltij.nl.
- Optionally link the image to voltij.nl, where visitors see all hourly prices of today and tomorrow. This is off by default; switch it on in the block or widget settings, or with
link="yes"in the shortcode.
The plugin interface is in English and can be translated on translate.wordpress.org.
