Vrijopnaam offers a dynamic energy contract in the Netherlands, allowing you to pay the most actual market price for energy. The price of electricity varies on an hourly basis and the gas prices on a daily basis.
This implies you can save money by shifiting your energy consumption as much as possible to the most advantageous hours of the day. That way, you decide how much you save!
For example, you can save by charging your electric car when the electricity price is low, or by turning on the washing machine tomorrow instead of today. Of course, you are still using our sustainable Dutch solar power and carbon compensated natural gas.
Do you want to know what this means for you? You can calculate your monthly installment amount here, without any obligations.
Dynamic energy pricing links your energy costs directly to increasingly fluctuating market rates. When prices drop, so does your energy bill.
By adjusting your consumption to the most advantageous hours of the day or by using less energy at times when the price is high you can save money. So, with a dynamic energy contract you decide how much you save.
For example: the blue graph shows peaks in electricity usage and the green image demonstrates it would be smarter to consume power in the afternoon, since the dynamic tariffs are lower!
| Contract type | Pricing |
|---|---|
| Dynamic Energy Contract | Electricity prices change every hour Gas prices change every day |
| Variable Energy Contract | Changes every month |
| Fixed-rate Contract | Changes after your fixed contract ends |
Unlike traditional fixed-rate plans or regular variable energy contracts in the Netherlands, dynamic pricing electricity models have different electricity tariffs every hour and a gas price that changes on a daily basis. This allows you to take advantage of low market prices and to avoid higher prices. In general, a dynamic princing contract provides flexibility and transparency, empowering you to optimize your energy costs.
Switching to a dynamic electricity pricing contract not only helps you save money, but this is also good for the planet.
By using energy when supply of wind and solar power is higher or when demand is lower is lower, you help creating a more balanced electricity grid and reducing the need to use fossil energy sources.
Your energy, you decide! With electricity dynamic pricing and (optional) dynamic gas tariffs, you maximize the control over your energy costs. Vrijopnaam provides insight into your consumption and (real-time and future) energy prices, empowering you to decide how to optimize your energy usage.
You could consider dynamic pricing energy rates if:
⚡ You can manage a (large) part of your energy consumption behaviour, such as charging an electric car during low-price hours.
⚡ You enjoy optimizing your energy costs while contributing to a more sustainable future.

In the Vrijopnaam app (demo) you can always see all consumption and cost details. Besides, you can find tomorrow's costs and energy prices here. Are tomorrow's energy prices sunnier than today's? That’s where you can adjust your home consumption accordingly to save. This gives you more control over your energy bill.
Do you consider the dynamic rate? Then make sure your home has a smart meter. Do you have your own solar panels or Paneelopnaam? Then it is not yet possible to use the dynamic pricing energy contract. So, think carefully about which contract best suits your situation. Is the dynamic rate not for you? You can always cancel or switch to another type of contract at Vrijopnaam (variable energy contract or fixed contract), free of charge.

With a dynamic rate, you have a fluctuating energy price. You buy energy directly from the wholesale market, at the market price. What you pay depends on the price on this market and your consumption. The market price of electricity ch3anges every hour, that of gas every day.
Yes. A condition for using dynamic rates is having a smart readable meter. This is the only way we can charge your consumption per hour (for electricity) or per day (for gas).
Do you have a conventional meter, but would you like to use our dynamic rate? Then contact your grid operator to request a smart meter. Not sure if you have a smart readable meter? Feel free to contact us.
It is not (yet) possible to use the dynamic rate if you produce your own solar power with solar panels on your roof. When there is feed-in to the electricity grid during the term of the dynamic contract, this will automatically be converted to the Vrijopnaam variable contract.
A dynamic rate has its advantages, but sometimes disadvantages as well. This differs per situation.
Advantages: on average you are cheaper (provided you consciously choose to consume at the right times). You benefit from hours with a low electricity rate. You have more control over and influence on your energy bill.
Disadvantages: to gain financial benefits, it is necessary to invest time and attention in your energy consumption and its timing. Consciously running the washing machine at times when the electricity price is low requires more attention than when you have a fixed rate and it doesn't matter when you use energy at home.
Not everyone can manage their consumption well or is flexible about it. So the dynamic tariff should suit your situation.
We calculate your monthly installment amount by multiplying your stated consumption by the expected rates for the next twelve months on the wholesale energy market (futures). We divide these expected consumption costs, including taxex and levies, fixed delivery costs and a purchase fee, by twelve. That way you pay the same amount throughout the year. Would you rather pay more or less? Then you can adjust the monthly installment amount yourself via the Vrijopnaam app (web app).
