For those readers on Agile Tariff, there are some periods of plunge pricing on OE tomorrow; the first is at 00:30 - 01:00 when the rate is -3.93 pence per kW/h. I shall be topping up my DHW device and Powerwalls …. This has been a Public Service Announcement! Regards, Toodles.

@fazel I’m still waiting on a delivery date for my crystal ball; perhaps this will be the next best thing? Thank you - can’t wait for Tuesday! Regards, Toodles.

Well done Fazel! As predicted some plunge pricing in the early hours of the 11th. Look out Powerwall! Regards, Toodles.

Tomorrow is the reversal but the 14th is what you are looking for.

@fazel Thank you for that, as they say, It is an Ill Wind… (Shocking that I have had to buy power at over 20pence a unit today!!!) Regards, Toodles.

@fazel Sunamp and Powerwalls set to charge tomorrow afternoon then! (Not due to see a lot of solar power tomorrow according to the Met. Office.) Thanks for the ‘heads-up’ Fazel! Regards, Toodles.

Looking at the data it would appear to indicate how much the electricity market is being manipulated by some of the companies. I find it very strange that the wholesale price per kWh can go from -4.2p at 06:00, then to 10.6p at 06:30, only to fall again to -0.4p at 07:00, before increasing again to 11.7p at 07:30. There appears to be a strong smell of fish.

@derek-m It does smell like that I think, we are told that weather conditions dictate the generation but would predictions be accurate enough to know that the wind force will drop dramatically for 30 minutes then increase again??? I know that demand led parameters are heavily involved but this does stretch credibility somewhat - I mean, what is going on for 30 minutes and not before or after? As you suspect (as do I) there are some piscatorial aromas hereabouts… Regards, Toodles
