We have no EV or other really heavy duty items. We used an extra 2 kWh last week and our saving sessions earned us £17.28. That's a net gain of about £16.50.I am a mortgage broker.

I'm no expert but, thinking it through, it's very likely that if the electric companies purchase segments of power in advance, they then really want it used, and this would apply whether the person has shifted their normal use from that saving hour or whether they're "gaming the system".Warning: any unnecessary disclaimers appearing under my posts do not bear any connection with reality, either intended, accidental or otherwise.

And whether the current significant financial benefit of shifting to the IDA (and potentially using extra unnecessary energy) gets picked up by mainstream or social media, or posted on HotUKDeals etc.0 -
