nordpool-fi
Hourly electricity prices for Finland with optimal EV charging window calculation (3h, 4h, 5h).
Why use this skill?
Track hourly electricity prices in Finland and optimize your EV charging schedule with the nordpool-fi OpenClaw skill. Save money by automating usage during the cheapest hours.
Install via CLI (Recommended)
clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/ovaris/nordpool-fiWhat This Skill Does
The nordpool-fi skill provides real-time and forecast energy price intelligence specifically tailored for the Finnish electricity market. By integrating directly with the Porssisahko.net API, this skill translates raw hourly price data into actionable insights for the OpenClaw agent. Beyond simply reporting the current price per kilowatt-hour (snt/kWh), the skill performs complex calculations to identify the most cost-effective time slots for high-consumption tasks. Its primary value proposition lies in its ability to compute optimal consecutive charging windows for electric vehicles (EVs), offering 3-hour, 4-hour, and 5-hour recommendations based on the lowest price averages across the day. This is essential for users looking to minimize their carbon footprint and reduce energy costs by shifting consumption to off-peak hours.
Installation
To install this skill, use the Clawhub CLI within your terminal. Ensure your environment has the necessary dependencies for the execution of Python-based agents. Run the following command:
clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/ovaris/nordpool-fi
Once installed, the script will be available in your local path, allowing you to pipe its output directly into data processing tools like jq for automated workflows or custom shell scripts.
Use Cases
This skill is perfect for home automation and personal productivity workflows. You can use it to program smart home switches to trigger EV chargers during the cheapest hours identified by the skill. Additionally, it serves as a utility for budgeting, allowing you to monitor peak price trends throughout the day. It is an indispensable tool for residents in Finland who operate under spot-price energy contracts.
Example Prompts
- "Check the current electricity price in Finland and let me know if it's a good time to run the dishwasher."
- "What is the best 4-hour window to charge my electric vehicle today according to Nordpool prices?"
- "Summarize today's energy prices: give me the daily average, the minimum price, and the maximum price for the next 24 hours."
Tips & Limitations
The nordpool-fi skill relies on external API data, meaning it requires active network access to function. Ensure that your agent has the necessary permissions. Note that prices fluctuate hourly based on market demand, so it is recommended to query the skill frequently or use it within a cron job to keep your charging schedules updated with the latest market data. Since the tool provides mathematical optimal windows, always verify that your hardware can support the scheduled charging times.
