Elekt - Your Energy Watchdog - Electricity management & savings

Elekt – Your Energy Watchdog by Elekt AS is an independent electricity-tracking app that helps you stop getting surprised by your power bill. It is not tied to pushing one supplier’s deals; it works as your personal energy watchdog, showing total costs, hourly prices, usage trends, and smart alerts in one place. 

The Elekt app is built for people who want to answer three questions fast:

•How much am I paying for electricity and grid fees right now?

•When are prices low enough to charge, wash, heat, or shift load?

•Is my current electricity contract hurting me?

Core Elekt app features include:

•Total cost overview — energy and grid fees together, not scattered across portals.

•Hourly price updates — track spot prices and see trends over time.

•Weekly price forecast — plan ahead with a 7-day electricity price view.

•Usage tracking — see consumption and estimate your next bill.

•Contract impact — add your electricity deal to see how it changes your hourly rate.

•Smart alerts — get notified when it makes sense to shift usage and save.

•Historical prices — compare today’s prices with past periods.

•Personalized saving tips — tailored recommendations to cut wasteful usage.

•EV smart charging — for Norwegian users, monitor charging and charge when spot prices are lowest. 

Elekt is free to download with optional in-app subscriptions. The Google Play listing shows 100K+ downloads, contains ads, offers in-app purchases, encrypts data in transit, and says no data is shared with third parties. On the App Store, Elekt supports Family Sharing for eligible in-app purchases and offers Elekt Basic or Elekt Plus plans; pricing varies by store region. 

Getting Started with the Elekt App

Use Elekt like a daily energy dashboard, not just a price checker.

1. Set up your location and provider

Open Elekt – Your Energy Watchdog and choose your electricity area or provider where prompted. In newer versions, Norway and Denmark users get an improved cost overview and can select provider and plan from a list. 

2. Add your electricity contract

Go to the contract or pricing section and add your tariff. Elekt recalculates hourly prices based on your real contract, so you see what you actually pay—not just the raw spot price. 

3. Turn on smart alerts

Enable notifications for high-price hours and saving opportunities. The Elekt app sends alerts when shifting laundry, EV charging, heating, or dishwasher cycles can lower cost. 

4. Check the weekly forecast every morning

Before heavy appliance use, open the 7-day forecast. If tomorrow is clearly cheaper, delay flexible loads. If tonight has a low-price window, schedule charging or heating. 

5. Watch total cost, not just spot price

The most useful Elekt screen is the total cost overview: energy charge plus grid fee. Many users only watch spot price and miss the grid side of the bill. 

6. Use usage tracking for bill estimates

Track consumption to see an estimated upcoming bill. If the estimate climbs, Elekt can surface saving tips or alert you to cut back. 

7. EV owners: enable smart charging in supported markets

In Norway, Elekt can monitor EV charging sessions and help charge when spot prices are lowest. This is one of the strongest money-saving features for EV households. 

8. Upgrade only if you need Plus features

Basic free features cover prices and key insights. Elekt Basic or Elekt Plus unlock deeper cost overview, consumption views, grid-cost insights, alerts, and saving tips. Availability differs by country, so check your plan screen before subscribing. 

9. Manage or cancel subscription in your phone settings

Because Elekt uses in-app purchases, manage renewal through Google Play or Apple ID subscriptions. Cancel before the next period; you usually keep access until the paid period ends.
