Won’t be putting the washing on today then…

Highest I’ve seen the price on this tariff. Looking at the Grid it’s pretty clear why!

that is the same as my day rate - which luckily I don't have to take anyway - and the standing charge is about 30% less than mine!

We're still exporting to a whole load of countries though (and importing from France).

I saw that Agile was over 50p yesterday. The wind forecast is pretty low for the foreseeable. Maybe time to change tariff? Go is only 26p in the daytime...

Thing is when the wind does blow, it changes quite a lot - was down to about 14p/kWh only a week or so ago. It's definitely been a good tariff for me to switch to overall as these pricey days aren't that common, and the standing charge is one of the lower ones.

I get that Tracker works well for some people. Particularly those who don't use much electricity and/or don't have batteries. And you need to look at id holistically, not make kneejerk decisions based on a few expensive days. However, last month I managed "1839.9kWh @ 6.96p/kWh" (+VAT) on IOG.

It's the right tariff for me overall at the moment - I live on my own so my usage is low and variable, I don't have solar or an EV or batteries in my 1st floor flat, and I can easily timeshift/dayshift my consumption for when electricity is cheaper.

Thats the good thing about the octopus tariffs, generally theres something suitable for everyone to find a match to their personal needs.

I managed to mess my choreographed operation up yesterday by setting the car schedule charge switch off from AM to PM so this morning I awoke to an half empty house battery and a slightly fuller car battery than expected not to worry though as its a learning curve and just means we will try to be miserly with house power to see if we can skate through to the next charge window on vanilla.

Wow.

Time to switch everything off!

26GW/65% gas at the moment... what's the "horror" emoji?

What's the max generation capacity of the gas fleet these days?
