Rich, Cosy plus OO fixed is absolutely better than Flux unless one can maximise the high rate export.

But I expect the fixed outgoing rate to drop soon, and you need a heat pump to be on Cosy.

Crikey - with this weekends renewables glut my daily tariff today has fallen to 11p. I’m not sure what to do as I did loads of washing yesterday when it was 15p!

Ive had sub 5p per kwh electricity since midnight.
Currently slow roasting a lamb, heating the house, and doing wash loads whilst the o/h cuts the grass, and getting paid 5p/kwh.
With all of that, we are struggling to use a ton of electricity. But have so far used 18.4kwh today.
Solar generation is actually hampering the situation, as we are using that instead of exporting at 15p and importing at negative cost.
Battery set up cannot happen soon enough.
