Electriciantrackworld - what is using the leccy?

Thanks banana

Apologies if already covered....

Is it a new build?

I've had to manage the sale of a few empty buildings and  sorting out right meters for right flats/units can be "entertaining".  Paperwork is not always in perfect order at the developer/utility company end and one minor paperwork error can translate into a truckload of nuisance.

She's not picked up the building supply has she or another flat with a pot plant habit?

Otherwise that's a lot of pot noodles.

Sharkbait, it works with things like IFTTT

That's what I was thinking.   I already have electric underfloor heating being switched on and off using IFTTT according to the generation of my solar panels.

So this would be great in the winter when the PV isn't generating enough excess.

I could 'charge up' the floor on the cheap rate overnight.

We also have a place by the beach that's entirely electric and it could be helpful there also.

Hmmmm 🤔

Although looking at the historic data from last winter the overnight prices seemed barely any better than the variable rate.

You could just about count on one hand the number of times the agile pricing drops significantly through winter. Nice when it does but it's rare.

Ahhhh.

No point in that for me then probs.

That's the current situation and has been since the wholesale price hike, but it didn't used to be that way, every night was consistently very cheap and I hope that in the future it will go back to that (I might be thinking pre COVID). So I guess, monitor it. There's a couple of apps that will show you prices on a daily basis, octopus watch being one of them. I was on tracker v1 tariff last winter which is a daily price calculated as an average of half hourly Agile prices, it was consistently lower than everyone else

Well there's a coincidence:

I don't have a smart meter and registered my interest with Octopus a long time ago but with no progress - I've just had a message from them saying my old meter is out of certification and they need to install a new one...... booked for next week!!
(I presume it will be a smart one?)

This will hopefully open up opportunities for my inner nerd!
