Electricity Prices

Overview

Nord Pool day-ahead electricity spot prices for Denmark and neighboring markets, via Energinet's Energi Data Service. Prices are returned in 15-minute intervals in DKK and EUR. No upstream account required.

Prerequisites

• A stackgate.ai account

Getting credentials

1. Open Integrations → Electricity Prices.
2. Click Activate — no API key is needed.
3. Optionally set a default price area (DK1 = west of Storebælt, DK2 = Copenhagen/east).

stackgate.ai calls Energi Data Service on your behalf. Use the price_area tool parameter for neighboring zones (e.g. DE, NO2, SE3).

Using with AI clients

• Dedicated endpoint: POST /mcp/electricity-prices
• Private gateway: electricity-prices__* tools

Example prompts:

• "What is the current electricity price in DK2?"
• "What will power cost tomorrow in DK1?"
• "Show me today's cheapest and most expensive hours in Copenhagen."

Troubleshooting

• Tomorrow has no prices — day-ahead prices are usually published around 13:00 CET. Try again after the auction clears.
• Hub quota exceeded (429) — stackgate.ai enforces fair-use daily limits on shared open-data access. Wait until tomorrow or reduce polling frequency.
• Upstream rate limit (429) — Energi Data Service may throttle abusive traffic; retry after the indicated delay.
• Prices differ from your bill — these are wholesale spot prices excluding taxes, grid tariffs, and supplier margins. DKK values use Danmarks Nationalbank FX and may differ slightly from consumer price sites.
