@tim441 Thank you Tim, I was not aware of the changes to Outgoing Fixed - doesn’t sound too promising as a money earner next spring and summer does it? Today, I saw solar production of 7 kWh’s and that is at least 5 kW better than any day in the last gloomy fortnight! I was looking at the possibility of changing in the spring to Flux and thinking that as far as I can see, the present Outgoing Fixed deal was still a better deal…. and now…who knows???? Toodles.

Just checked; my Outgoing Fixed contracts ends on 31st. May, will have to see what is happening nearer to the time then. 😳 Toodles.

Please, if any Agile user has the time to check their consumption and average price, I would be delighted to know.

I am keeping tabs on the published ‘average off-peak’ rates but wonder if the more savvy user (admittedly, those with time on their hands or an automation procedure to carry out the task for them) has been able to ‘better’ that average. My Cosy tariff lowest rate is still under 13 pence per kWh and I have not seen anything to approach this according to Agile Prices daily listings. Regards, Scroogely, Toodles.

These are our figures. We have solar but no battery.

@mike-h Thank you Mike, it is very revealing of what potential battery storage may have to enable choice of TOU rates! Regards, Toodles.

Thanks, @mike-h.

Just a bit of clarification if you don't mind. Are your agile costs including or excluding standing charge and are they for your import only or import and export together as a net figure?

Mitsubishi Ecodan 8.5 kW air source heat pump
18 x 360W solar panels
1 x 6 kW GroWatt battery and SPH5000 inverter
1 x Myenergi Zappi
1 x VW ID3

@majordennisbloodnok They exclude standing charges and are for imported electricity from the grid.

@mike-h I really wish we could exclude SC’s! 😉 Toodles (and I don’t even have a gas meter to pay for anyway!)
