    Gas is a physical product that is pumped through pipes and can be stored.  Electricity is much harder and more expensive to store, so we need to have enough generating capacity to meet the highest expected need on any day.  Therefore there is no 30 minute or one hour market for gas - it’s just a daily thing.

    Yep, electricity is difficult to store - seems much easier to drive consumption by offering cheaper / expensive prices - and demand follows.

    Gas - a bit like long dated product in supermarket.

    I've never had a problem activating the voucher until Wednesday afternoons
  • I'm on Tracker gas but have never got around to working out the underlying mechanics. Obviously there is no half hourly pricing. Agile doesn't come into it. I guess that it is daily pricing like electric.
    This thread has wandered off topic apologies. Can it be transferred to Tracker somehow?
    Oh come on sam, you could have posted it on the tracker thread.

  • Delete and repost would be my suggestion - no point in giving the forum team more work to do at this time of year, is there!

  • Back to Agile.

    What’s Christmas Day looking like ?
  • Cloudy but not especially windy, so with relatively low demand I'd guess an average of 15p.
