Where do the prices come from?
Spot prices come from ENTSO-E (the EU's official electricity price data) and are converted to local currency using the exchange rate from the European Central Bank.
Why do prices differ from other services?
It's most likely due to the euro-to-krona exchange rate, which can make the prices differ slightly.
