Hi @96said96! Sadly, it is not possible to define the dispatch price as a timeseries, neither for assets nor for the energy provider (ie. for electricity imports). If you have coding experience, you could introduce this feature. Otherwise, I would recommend to check out the not-as-user-friendly Multi Vector Simulator (https://github.com/rl-institut/multi-vector-simulator/). There, you can define your energy system via csv files, and also define specific parameters (like efficiencies, dispatch prices and energy prices) as a timeseries.

The instructions that I wrote in #170 also give an idea as to what has to be changed, if the dispatch costs of an asset should be allowed to be a timeseries as well.
