The explanation
What is a dynamic energy contract?
"Vergelijk het met aardbeien op de markt: in juni, als de kraampjes vol liggen, betaal je een habbekrats; in december komt diezelfde doos uit de kas en betaal je de hoofdprijs. Stroom werkt op een dynamisch contract precies zo, alleen wisselt de prijs niet per seizoen maar per uur."
