And don’t forget about the people who are charging their full EV cars between midnight and 4am on the excess night time renewables from wind and tidal power to help drive the downturn in fossil usage. Champions 🏆

I’m one of these people! Costs me like £2 to fully charge my car overnight, absolutely love it

Look at Octopus’ Agile tariff. It gives you prices that change every 30 minutes based on wholesale prices. https://octopus.energy/smart/agile/
Over the last few months there have been quite a few windy nights where generation has exceeded demand and prices have gone negative.
There are also times of super-peak demand where they will pay you quite a lot for foreceably discharging you batteries into the grid.
If you are interested in switching I have an introduction code to Octopus that would give you and me £50 each
