Thankyou Octopus as the boots are very deep here at Nowty Towers.
And as I am normally exporting at that time ALL used leccy will be free and some will be re-exported back later for that little bit of extra credit.
"Our first Free Electricity session is Thursday 15 August from 1-2pm.
To take part, all you need to do is sign up before 1pm tomorrow, then get ready to power up.
Free Electricity... what's the catch?
During these super-green sessions, all the electricity you'd normally use will cost the same. Any extra power you use won't cost a thing. That means you can go to town on all those electricity-hungry household tasks, knowing you won't clock up a big bill afterwards.
How do you work out my normal use?
Any power you use above normal will be free – so how do we decide what’s normal? We'll look at your historical smart meter readings to work out your typical energy use at that time of day.
If the Session is on a weekday, we'll look at your half-hourly usage over the last 10 weekdays. If the Session is at the weekend, we'll look at your half-hourly usage over the last 4 weekend days. We'll not include days where a Session took place in these calculations. Once we know this ‘normal’ figure, we can use it as a baseline - any power you use above that baseline will be free."
