    Yeah gas is nice and steady, a few more days like this for electricity then back down again but from the available data not going over the price cap in the next 14 days.

    Who knew being on tracker has you hoping for wind and winter sunshine 😂

    Wind forecast has changed to now suggest TOMORROW is likely to be the bottom of the barrel for wind speeds.

    We may be about to see tracker go above the cap tomorrow. Will find out in about 8 minutes. Hopefully I am wrong.

    And with wind looking similar for Saturday it should in theory go down again as demand is less on a weekend

    We have some unexpected winter sunshine today which is helping top up our batteries again. The forecast last night was showing cloudy here, although clear a few miles further north, so looks like we struck lucky.

    Is there a logical link between daily price and temperature, other things being equal (they usually aren't)?
