  • Just seen another TOU provider called 100Green or GreenEnergyUK and their prices at least for me are:
    0-7 9p
    16-20 49p (Monday - Friday)
    32p rest of the time

    Any takers? 😅

    (I know it's Agile topic, but good to know competition too)
    The extended and invariable tea time peak and higher day time rate would count me out of that, you'd need a massive overnight load and very low daytime to make it worthwhile I think

    GEUK / 100Green are one of the three "deep green" energy suppliers. Their energy is eco-friendly enough that they're exempt from the Ofgem cap.
    I understand they've got decent customer service but they're not usually a low-cost option.

    Yeah I think it's hard to justify it.. one would say that maybe with a battery you could make it work but I've seen somewhere that if you pay £5k for 10kWh battery then each kWh during first 10 years costs you at least 14p + cost of electricity purchased (cost of battery amortisation) so that would be 14+9 = 23p very close to standard rate.

    Yes but from the weather forecast - high chance of plunge pricing tomorrow night also better than tonight.

    Yes, there's already one plunge showing for just before midnight on NYE into NYD. 
    PPI success. Banding success. Double Dip PCN cancelled! South facing solar (Midlands) and battery. Savings Session supporter (is it worth it now!?)
  • Typically I’m out at friends tomorrow night with the car 😆. Hopefully the plunge pricing lasts beyond 1am 🤞
  • Can't decide if I'll stick the radiators on a timer when the prices drop below 8p tonight with it being fairly mild.  500kwh this month thanks to the 10? days of low rates

    Probably will as it's been nice having the house toasty ☺️
  • Just washing machine (and dry) dehumidifier and slow cooker overnight for us last night, but I’m liking the look of that -4.4 on the latest slot currently shown tonight - I’ll be keeping a close eye at tomorrows prices when they are released later!
