I love it when I check the app and see that the cost of gas and electric we have used for the week is less than £10.
Aye, getting paid to charge the car is always pleasing.@413x did you move to agile?
A fair chunk of tomorrow is negative pricing, very early am, and 9:30am-4pm!
Its not big negatives but being paid to use leccy is always nice

Reading about switching to Octopus reminded me to do the same, got a referral link from my Dad. I have no idea why I stuck with EDF for so long - I thought they would get my smart meters working but nah. I'll just give monthly readings like I used to when I was using Sainsbury's energy. EDF website looks broken and they couldn't even give me my energy usage data which I think breaks some kind of Ofgem rule, but not my problem anymore.

What was your standing tho?
46 to 54.83p
Biggest saving will be winter, when the storage heaters come on. I've set them from 12.30 to 5.30 to take advantage of the saving

Energy boss Greg Jackson has said people living near wind farms – such as in Scotland - should pay less for their electricity.
The founder and chief executive of Octopus said it was "crazy" that the electricity price was the same across the UK.

About bloody time. We have three massive windfarms around us yet have some of the most expensive electricity and standing charges in the country. On the other hand, is he going to do the same for people living near power stations and solar farms?

Yeah I seen that... I'm sure a certain @200sols will be along any time to give his take on it... Dont let me down chief

I assume he singles out Wind Farms due to their visual and/or noise impact to locals near them... Do traditional power stations and solar farms have the same "nuisance" impact on people? (genuine question)

If people are dumb enough to drink seawater sure
Well it’s free
I’m sure the emissions, even at the top of a smoke stack, do more damage to locals than any other form of generation.
Edit: it’s the only form of generation that does any actual impact that isn’t made up in your own head.

Traditional coal stations were horrible to be near.
I would guess a modern gas station not so much of an issue.
Solar its really just the initial setup thats the issue (have one near me and its irrelevant). They are also proposing to build another much larger one near me, and there will be considerable local traffic issues for a considerable period of time.
Even talk of closing the A road junction we use so that site traffic get to use it.

But who uses sea water for anything in reality?
