For me today for that period for context
10:00 = 14.7p
10:30 = 12.89p
11:00 = 13.65
Though i cant shift all peak usage, we certainly may benefit from lower rates outside of that as i wfh.
I dont have an Ev, so no benefit there. However, rates seem ok for now.
If i see a fairly decent fixed price deal pop up, ill probably grab it to be safe over winter.

Well charging for free presently at the agile rate is 0p. Lovely.
I waited until 12:30 to put the dishwasher and washing machine on - it's tempting to tumble dry the clothes just because I can do it for free

I can basically shower (electric 10kwh shower) at any time of the day with WFH.
This is better than my fix.
Do You know the times + prices in advance?

This could really help me!! I'm paying nearly £13-15 a DAY on 1970's Storage Heaters just by 8am
So even if you don't alter your usage times it's still worth it?
We use a lot through the day.
Hourly pricing is awesome if you can properly control your big use events like washing machine, charging the car etc.
But it also sucks when you're cooking dinner with an electric oven at peak rate when it's hideously expensive.

It isnt right now.
Highest pricing tomorrow is 30p between 430pm and 5pm. Thats less then the energy cap tariff.
Why the heck do you need storage heaters in the summer?!This could really help me!! I'm paying nearly £13-15 a DAY on 1970's Storage Heaters just by 8am
Replace them with air conditioning units. Your cost to operate will drop dramatically.This could really help me!! I'm paying nearly £13-15 a DAY on 1970's Storage Heaters just by 8am
It’s by far the easiest and cheapest way to update your heating system to something sensible and cheap to operate over the long term.
