Can I add a sensor that measures consumption in kW as shown in the picture?

Thanks for your help.

Nope kW measures instant power, not energy. You can create an integral helper sensor from it to measure kWh and add that

O ja, in addition, we have high season and low season

this type of pricing is spreading everywhere and we don't have an easy way to handle it in HA. My advice would be to create a custom input or template sensor for the price and set its value with automations somehow

Norway and Netherlands have complicated pricing like this afaik but I think it's coming to the entire EU eventually

tbh pricing should depend on the maximum power as that determines a lot of the cost but utilities should also provide an API for this stuff
