	The day ahead price is just that. The price traded for a small amount of electricity the day ahead. It is not the price of all electricity used the next day. Most electricity is bought well in advance...
	RE: is a home battery without an EV worth it? By AdamK, 16 hours ago Forum Energy Storage
	@jamespa yeah I’m only showing the min wage we’ve set as a country not for individual trades. I’m surprised they are saying an electrician only gets £12.11-13.84, no wonder so many people want to work...
