Octopus Energy Streams: An add on to Intelligent Go

https://octopus.energy/blog/streams/

Seems like a way to get more than 6 hours of low EV charging rates. No way to predict when the additional cheap rate hours will occur but the whole household's import benefits from the lower EV rates. I expect this is designed to take advantage of the negative pricing that is taking place during sunny, windy days.

    makes sense as night time uses quite a bit of gas. The new cheap rate time period is going to be during the day.

    This add on is the first of its kind that seeks to capitalize on the unpredictable nature of…nature. The grid of the future will reward consumption during sunny and/ or windy periods and penalize consumption when fossil fuels are used.
