Octopus Agile

I wonder how many ex-Agilers take a perverse delight in firing everything up in the peak period?

Not many I believe, Im on Cosy so 16-19 still expensive:)

But I did think about running a hot water tank between 18-19 if I was on SVR to improve my Saving Session numbers.. I think I had 8 sessions this month and its a lottery for me to save 0.05kWh to get free happy hour.. if I was on SVR I would schedule the tank to run at different time and I would get 5kWh in points + guaranteed free happy hour.

My usage in the power down periods is clearly normally pretty low as I have to export from batteries (thanks to posters here for the tip!) in order to save enough to get a free happy hour. Conversely, today's low/negative periods have coincided with sunshine, so despite emptying the battery earlier today I have still only managed to import 0.3kWh so far today…

Luckily for me, gloom has coincided with the low/negative prices, today.

Might make up for switching everything off and going shopping for an hour, yesterday evening, and then realising I'd forgotten to sign up for the saver session. D'oh!

Looks like I shall have to switch on every electrical appliance in the house overnight and for most of tomorrow to make the most of those lovely negative prices in an attempt to balance out the horrors of the past couple of weeks!

I don't think I've seen such a long period of negativity

16 hours of negative pricing tomorrow!

We've imported 45.3kWh today (and exported about 16). As we're expecting sun tomorrow, I don't think we'll manage to import as much (although we'll empty the batteries this evening and make sure the hot water is used, and set some laundry to run overnight). As we have to do all the laundry at the weekend due to builders working in the utility room during the week, it is good to know that we don't have to worry about the sun disappearing behind a cloud at a critical moment!

I've just cancelled my two free hours I'd booked for tomorrow. If we go on earning them as we have been I'm wondering whether there will be time to use them all up.
