If you are practically never home on workdays but move mountains on weekends, tackle grand household chores, and run all your appliances at full blast, it's time to make sure your electricity tariff helps you save when you are actually getting things done.
Who is the "Weekender" electricity tariff suitable for?
Let's be honest – weekends don't mean rest and downtime for everyone. For many of us, it's the most active part of the week.
This tariff is created for all the "weekend hosts" who move mountains specifically during the weekend. Whether it's high-powered activity at the summer house, a massive home cleanup, or culinary experiments in the kitchen. It is the perfect solution if you spend your workdays away from home, but finally return on weekends to fully enjoy the comfort and coziness you pay the bills for.
How does it work? The "Weekender" tariff supports households that are buzzing at full blast on weekends! Every Saturday, Sunday, and official public holiday between 09:00 and 18:00, the price is fixed at 0.06510 €/kWh. At other times, the standard rate (0.14490 €/kWh) applies, and the monthly fee is just 2.00 €.
Calculation: How much can you save with the "Weekender" electricity tariff?
As an example, let's look at a family whose summer house serves as a weekend oasis of peace. On workdays, the property is empty, and only background appliances are running. House cleaning and relaxation are concentrated on Saturdays and Sundays. The home has an optimal 3-phase, 16A connection. Since the water boiler is equipped with a simple mechanical or smart timer, it heats up precisely during the saver hours of the "Weekender" tariff, while the family runs other appliances (grill, oven, lawnmower) according to their needs. The average monthly consumption is 200 kWh. Let's compare Ignitis "Weekender" tariff with a common competitor tariff, also taking into account the monthly fee (€2), the electricity delivery fee (€9.58), and the capacity maintenance fee (€15.88).
| Monthly costs | Your annual savings | |
| Competitor's tariff* | 55,00 € | 0,00 € |
| "Weekender" tariff | 45,91 € | 109,06 € |
*Konkurenta tarifs ir fiksēts ar likmi 0,13770 €/kWh
Praktisks piemērs: Brīvdienu mājas elektrības patēriņš.
- On workdays, the house "sleeps". Only the refrigerator and Wi-Fi router are running.
- Weekends from 09:00 to 18:00 are the busiest times for the household. At 09:00, a smart plug turns on the water boiler. The family arrives at the property, brews coffee, prepares a late breakfast, and later lunch using the oven or electric grill on the terrace. The dishwasher and garden equipment, such as the lawnmower, are running. The boiler turns on periodically throughout the day to maintain the hot water temperature.
- On weekend evenings, household chores wind down. Lighting, the TV, or background music consume very little power. Then, around 17:00 on Sunday evening, the family heads back home.
- 70% of the total monthly consumption falls within the saver hours.
By choosing the "Weekender" electricity tariff, a "weekend host" can save €109 over the course of a year. This amount is just decent enough not to waste it on an unsuitable tariff, but rather invest it in a cozy hammock for those rare, lazy afternoons in the garden when all the mountains have finally been moved!
