How this service works
One x402 call returns the action, best time window, expected EUR value, confidence and expiry for German and European electricity decisions. USDC on Base, no API key or account.

Example use cases
Optimize heat pump runtime for cost savings
“What's the best 2-hour window today to run my heat pump when electricity is cheapest? I want to minimize my heating costs.”
Schedule dishwasher during low-price hours
“When should I start my dishwasher tonight to catch the lowest electricity prices? I need about 3 hours for the full cycle.”
Automate demand response battery charging
“Find me the optimal 4-hour slot today when the grid electricity is most affordable so I can charge my home battery and reduce my energy expenses.”
Technical details
Endpoint
POSThttps://energy.netzhandwerker.de/optimizer/cheapest-windowWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when an AI agent needs to schedule flexible electrical loads (EV charging, battery charging, heat pumps, appliances) during the lowest-cost electricity hours. Ideal for home energy management, demand response automation, and cost-optimization workflows where the agent needs a concrete actionable time window rather than raw price timeseries.
Side effects
- Invalid or missing duration_hours — returns 400 with validation error
- duration_hours exceeds available forecast horizon — returns error or truncated window
- Live grid data unavailable — service may return 503 or stale data warning
- Payment not included or insufficient — x402 payment required error
- duration_hours is zero or negative — rejected with validation error
