    We had been using the oven for meals over the previous week (not to game the system) just because what we were making wouldn't fit in the air fryer and we normally cook between 5 and 6pm so it worked out nicely.

    65% reduction - 16p! Difficult to save much when most of the demand in peak period is normally met by the battery.

    We saved 99%, for £2.19

    Won't ever be this high again, as literally had solar and batteries installed 4 days before the saving session, so peak power now being provided by the batteries where as before it was the grid
