Renewables: "talking 'bout my generation"

Lots of negative price on Agile. I'll console myself with being paid to fill the car up.

@Netexporter I'm happy to share

May as well call it too.

0.19 Os. It's tipping it down here.

I'm on agile tariff now, so should get some benefits from the wind.

Good news free leccy from Octopus for 2 hours tomorrow, bad news 0.33 O’s

During which time my highest rate is 1.617p/kWh and most of it is negative, so it will be of no benefit to me. There is a common misconception about these free sessions, it's not free electricity, it's free extra electricity, i.e. above what you would normally use. Anyway I got a glorious 0.16 Os today, so nothing to write home about.

These sessions were great whilst I was still on IOF, as they'd pay for a free charge of the battery in addition to any extra electricity actually used regardless of whether the battery charged or not, at the unit rate of ~22.3p so I'd typically get around £2.50-£3.00 for each hour long session. And for the two hour sessions, they paid double! I think I received around £5.90 for the last two hour session on IOF before I switched for winter, which was a nice payout for doing nothing. Thank you Octopus.

0.4 Os, which seems typical.

Re. the free electricity sessions, I've had six quid and change so far, and that's on Intelligent Octopus Go where it's usually 7p/kWh!
