How SaveElectro Works — Smart Electricity Price Alerts
How SaveElectro works

Your electricity price
watchdog — 24 hours a day

Spot-price electricity is cheap when there's surplus and expensive when demand peaks. SaveElectro watches prices every hour and sends you a morning review, real-time alerts, and heating recommendations — so you always know when to act.

What is spot-price electricity?

If you have a spot-price electricity contract, the price you pay changes every hour based on the Nordic electricity exchange (Nord Pool). Prices are published the previous afternoon for the next full day — so by 14:00 today, you already know every hour's price for tomorrow.

When there's a lot of wind or solar energy, prices drop — sometimes to zero or even negative. When it's cold and dark and everyone turns on the heating at once, prices spike. The difference between the cheapest and most expensive hour on the same day can easily be 20× or more.

Grid paying you. Run absolutely everything.

What SaveElectro does for you

SaveElectro checks electricity prices every hour for your country. When something you care about happens — price crosses your alert threshold, a cheap window opens, a spike is coming — you get an alert by email, Telegram, or WhatsApp (Premium). Morning and evening reviews are always sent by email. No app to install.

01
You register and set up your household
Tell us your country, your appliances, and the price thresholds you care about. Free plan gives you one household, one appliance and two price alerts. You choose your notification channel at registration — email works immediately, or connect Telegram for instant alerts on your phone.
02
You choose your notification channel
Morning and evening reviews are always sent by email. For real-time price alerts you can use email, connect Telegram, or connect WhatsApp on Premium plans — alerts arrive as direct messages. Viber support is coming.
03
SaveElectro watches prices around the clock
Our server checks prices every 15 minutes in Finland, and every hour for the other 6 countries. Sweden, Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania are next for 15-minute resolution — their data sources already support it; Norway and Denmark remain hourly for now. No action needed from you. Prices are sourced directly from Nord Pool via national data providers.
04
You get notified at the right moment
A morning review with today's price overview and — for Premium — appliance window recommendations. Real-time alerts when price crosses your thresholds. Premium users also get spike alerts, negative price alerts, and an evening review with today's summary and overnight heads-up.
05
You act — and save money
Start the sauna at the right time. Delay the washing machine by two hours. Skip EV charging during the evening peak. Small shifts, real savings — month after month.

Which country is your household in?

SaveElectro supports all Nord Pool spot-price markets. Free users select one country during registration — matching the country where their household is. Premium users with multiple households can track each property in its own country, getting accurate local prices, taxes and recommendations for each.

Free plan: one country, matching your registered household. Premium: each household has its own country — useful if you have a primary home in Finland and a cottage in Sweden, for example.
Zone-accurate, not just country-accurate. Sweden (SE1–SE4), Norway (NO1–NO5) and Denmark (DK1–DK2) each split into regional price zones with real price differences — Stockholm and southern Sweden, for example, can see meaningfully different prices on the same day. SaveElectro resolves your household's exact zone from its location, not a single national average.

Put live prices on your own site

Run a blog, a local business site, or a housing association page? Embed SaveElectro's live price widget for free — no account, no SaveElectro branding requirement beyond a small "Powered by" credit, and no coding beyond one paste.

Install SaveElectro free on WordPress.org →

Already have the plugin installed? Use the shortcode below — it renders natively in the page, inheriting your site's own fonts and styling, with no separate box-in-a-box.

WordPress shortcode
[saveelectro_prices country="FI"]

Any other platform — Shopify, Wix, Squarespace, Blogger, or a hand-built site — the shortcode won't do anything (it's WordPress-specific templating, not real HTML). Use this iframe snippet instead, pasted into your platform's "Custom HTML" or "Embed" block, not a plain text field. It works anywhere the web already supports embedding things like a YouTube video or a Google Map. Swap the country code for yours (FI, SE, NO, DK, EE, LV or LT):

Embed code (iframe)
<iframe src="https://www.saveelectro.com/widget/?country=FI" width="370" height="420" frameborder="0" style="border:none;border-radius:10px"></iframe>

Want to see it live first? Open the widget preview → — add ?country=SE to the URL to see it for a different country.

Add it to your home screen instead

SaveElectro doesn't have an App Store or Google Play app — the live price widget works as a substitute. Add it to your phone's home screen or your computer's desktop and it opens instantly, full-screen, with its own icon, just like a real app.

📱
Android
Open saveelectro.com/widget/ in Chrome → tap ⋮ → Add to Home Screen.
iPhone / iPad
Open the same link in Safari → tap the Share icon → Add to Home Screen.
💻
Windows / Mac
Open the link in Chrome or Edge → click the install icon in the address bar (or menu → Install SaveElectro…) → it launches in its own window from your dock or taskbar from then on.

Common questions

Do I need to install an app?
No. SaveElectro works entirely in your browser. Morning and evening reviews are delivered by email. Real-time price alerts can also go via Telegram, or WhatsApp on Premium plans. No App Store, no Google Play — though you can add the live price widget to your phone or desktop home screen for an app-like shortcut, see above.
Where do morning and evening reviews go?
Always by email to your registered address. For real-time price alerts (threshold crossings, spikes, cheap windows) you can additionally connect Telegram, or WhatsApp on Premium plans, in Settings → Notifications.
Can I receive alerts on my phone?
Yes. Connect Telegram, or WhatsApp on Premium plans, in Settings and real-time alerts arrive on your phone instantly. Morning and evening reviews go to your email — make sure your email app notifications are enabled on your phone.
I have an iPhone. Does this work?
Yes, fully. Email works out of the box. Telegram and WhatsApp both work normally on iPhone — connect your preferred one in Settings with no extra steps.
Where do prices come from?
Prices come from national data providers that publish Nord Pool spot prices: porssisahko.net for Finland, elprisetjustnu.se for Sweden, hvakosterstrommen.no for Norway, elprisenligenu.dk for Denmark, and spot-hinta.fi for the Baltic states. Tomorrow's prices are published each afternoon around 14:00 CET.
What if I'm not receiving alerts?
For email: check your spam folder and add our address to your contacts. For Telegram or WhatsApp: make sure you completed the connect step in Settings → Notifications. See our Help page for more.
Which countries are supported?
Finland, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania. All use Nord Pool spot prices.
