That massive spike of 50c/kWh at the left looks tiny compared to today even though that's already insanely expensive

Ouch.

Meanwhile, in Portugal, my peak energy price will be around €.10, with the minimum at around €.06

To what degree is your house insulated already?

[-] Hotzilla@sopuli.xyz 9 points 11 months ago

Normal energy price in Finland around 0,04€ - 0,10€/kWh. Last year average was 0,068€/kWh

[-] qyron@sopuli.xyz 2 points 11 months ago

That is really nice.

[-] Tja@programming.dev 2 points 10 months ago

That's extremely cheap, compared to 0,35€ in Germany.

-40 is eye buggingly cold. You could have a styrofoam house and I would still worry about being cold in it, plus y’know, the giant fire hazard.

[-] qyron@sopuli.xyz 3 points 11 months ago

Saves a pretty penny on refrigerating stuff but makes for a hard time to have a decent night of sleep.

And your remark on styrofoam hits hard with me.

I have an old house, nearly 100 years old, with a very poor score in thermal efficiency, that really needs some improvement but the idea of glueing highly combustible materials to the walls does not go well with me.

At least you can quick chill a beer!

At least you can quick chill a soda!

[-] qyron@sopuli.xyz 1 points 11 months ago

There's that, I'll admit.

[-] Akasazh@feddit.nl 2 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

Well after lighting the styrofoam you won't feel cold anymore

Lol I don't know how that got autocorrected. Dutch is a funny language, but that isn't a word...

[-] GreatAlbatross@feddit.uk 1 points 11 months ago

It's crazy. I've been doing all my insulation calculations based on a delta of 20 (20 inside, 0 outside).

To hit the same heating requirement, I'd need to triple the amount of insulation for -40.

[-] Critical_Insight@feddit.uk 4 points 11 months ago

It's a log cabin with 5cm added fibreglass insulation on the inside.

[-] qyron@sopuli.xyz 1 points 11 months ago

That's a lot. And being a log cabin I wouldn't add anything on the outside that would hide the wood. That is really harsh weather to endure.
