Starting to think there is a risk of having too many savings sessions too often with too small a return for them to be of interest to enough people enough of the time and therefore value as a demand flexibility service.

I'll be honest....I haven't even bothered with the last few..not worth the effort in my opinion. Whereas I had never missed any of the others last year or so.

Bullionfield Solar Meadow for the James Hutton Institute, Scotland’s leading agricultural research body, ticks all the environmental aspects for me and surprisingly sunny according to PVGIS.

Plus a cooling wind from the River Tay estuary. :twisted:
