    It's almost worse with solar only. You're missing the cheap daytime Agile because your panels cover it, then you have only expensive stuff in the evening.

    I've been having fun playing brinksmanship cooking. Starting the cooking before the peak prices finish without going over the dwindling PV output. It's quite exciting! (if a little limiting as I can't use the combi-oven that late in the day, just the induction hob) It's given me an insight into how amazingly efficient induction hobs are, as a bonus.

    We were going to get an induction hob fitted when we redid our kitchen, but kept the gas one when the electric prices shot up. Have since found out a heart problem may involve a pacemaker in the future, so glad we kept the gas.

    Crikey, you're brave! Not something I'd want to have to remember to do. I suppose it also depends how long your arms are!

    Right, decent wind tomorrow yet still those stubborn morning and evening peaks, and it's not getting better after that. I'm switching for a bit. Not planning to stay on Cosy in the long term I just need some guaranteed cheap periods!
