Interesting that Agile prices aren't super low at that time.

Yes, I assumed that Agile prices would be negative, so not worth opting in. I think I'll struggle to make more than 20p, even with car charging, washing machine and anything else I can think of. Can't even have an extravagant shower as I've just ripped the bathroom out.

The calculation is a bit more difficult if you have solar without batteries and the 15p export tariff, combined with an EV tariff. The loss of export could easily wipe out the minimal savings.
As it happens it looks very overcast tomorrow so probably not much solar generation anyway.

I get a bunch of stamps given to me each Christmas by my employer. I don't have any fiends to post stuff to, so the stamps just collect dust on the shelf.

I'm on intelligent flux and octopus has only charged my battery to 50% so far. 

Hoping that their plan is to charge it at 1pm. 🤞😀

Washing machine and dishwasher will be turned on for that slot too.

Had the email but unsure what to do. Battery will likely be getting near to fully charged by then (dull morning forecast here) Water will be hot too. Could top up the car but using any extra juice will totally screw up my years old app records of usage!  Since getting a smart meter installed in early March we’ve used a grand total of 44kWh which I could potentially increase by 25%.

Export the battery from 12-1, then import from 1 till 2.

So, it's the extra energy cost over what you would normally pay.

More like the extra energy you use today during that period, compared to what energy you normally use during that period is free.

As it turnes out for Agile users, that's the cheapest part of the day and where I would load shift anyway. Will see what the results say in 7 days times.
