At this level the price difference between a spot-price and fixed contract can be 50-150 euros a year. In flats, district heating handles heating, so electricity's share of housing costs is smaller.
Spot pricing suits flexible consumers who can time their laundry and dishwasher to cheaper hours. A fixed contract is an easier choice when you want a predictable electricity bill.
