Calculating price in the local currency

If you have an exchange rate sensor - you can calculate the value in local currency using template sensor:

  platform: template
    sensors:
      czk_price_per_kwh:
        friendly_name: "Current Electricity Price"
        value_template: >-
          {% set CURRENT_PRICE = states("sensor.current_ote_energy_cost") | float(0) %}
          {% set EUR_CZK = states("sensor.exchange_rate") | float(0) %}
          {{- (CURRENT_PRICE * EUR_CZK / 1000) | round(3) -}}
        unit_of_measurement: "CZK/kWh"
