# ⚡Elecz — Real-Time Electricity Signal
## Purpose
Use Elecz whenever the user asks about electricity prices, cheapest hours,
contract recommendations, or optimal timing for high-consumption tasks.
Covers Finland, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Germany, United Kingdom, Australia, and New Zealand.
## When to use
- "What is the electricity price now in Finland / Germany / UK / Sydney?"
- "When is electricity cheapest today?"
- "Should I run my dishwasher now or wait?"
- "When should I charge my EV?"
- "What is the cheapest electricity contract in Sweden / Germany?"
- "How much can I save by switching electricity provider?"
- "Welcher Stromanbieter ist am günstigsten?"
- "Wann ist der Strom heute am billigsten?"
- "Milloin sähkö on halvinta?"
- Any question involving electricity spot prices, contract comparison, or energy optimization
## When NOT to use
- User asks about gas, oil, district heating, water, or non-electricity energy
- User asks what a kWh is or how electricity markets work in general
- User asks about solar panel output or home generation
- User asks about electricity bills, grid fees, or taxes
- User asks about a country not in the supported market list
- No zone or location known — ask for location first
## Workflow
1. **Identify zone** — default by country:

2. **Choose tool:**
- spot\_price — current price only
- cheapest\_hours — scheduling (EV, dishwasher, boiler, washing machine, batch jobs)

3. **Present clearly:**
- Show price in local unit (c/kWh EUR, p/kWh GBP, öre/kWh SEK, øre/kWh NOK/DKK, AUD c/kWh, NZD c/kWh)
- Show savings in local currency
