The price list has been unchanged since 1 September 2024, so a Caruna customer’s transfer bill has moved mainly with electricity tax and consumption since then. Electricity tax rose on 1 April 2026 when the security-of-supply fee increased, and it appears on the same Caruna bill.

General transfer is Caruna’s default and usually cheapest for flats, terraced homes and houses without electric heating. Night transfer is designed for storage electric heating: it pays when much of your power goes in after 22:00, for example into a heat store or water heater. Seasonal transfer suits direct electric heating if you can also use a fireplace or air heat pump in winter, since the winter weekday rate of 6.73 c/kWh is Caruna’s highest transfer price while other times cost only 3.23 c/kWh.
Spot electricity on Caruna’s network
Because the general transfer fee is the same at every hour, swings in the exchange price pass straight into a Caruna customer’s all-in price. On night transfer the gap widens: transfer is 1.99 c/kWh cheaper at night, so cheap night-time spot prices and cheap transfer coincide. The calculator above shows both effects for every quarter hour.
