Electricity price predictions

When the energy cap comes up for renewal I think it will rise to 26.5p per unit, any thoughts of the collective?

So a final update on Charge Pack, now I have nearly reached the end of the month.

While only announcing 5 events in the month, its plain to see that the tariff makes good use of the battery every night (The outliers in the centre are where we lost broadband for a few days). Each event earns me between £1.23 and £1.61, so adding that to the £12 guaranteed income, I should make about £20. However I notice that my battery only gets charged to about 70% before sunrise and so am losing 20% of 10 kWh (2kWh) of solar export every day (12p-8p = 4p/kWh)

For me, given the high cost of Huawei battery modules, I dont think the reward is worth the extra wear and tear on the battery. Once I get my £12, Im going to switch out of the tariff and export 50% of my battery at peak time every night in the summer.
