latest update on electricity bills - my latest bill (Feb 20 - Mar 20) is roughly half the previous bill

image

This is for ALL power including domestic and ASHP. As you can see over half was "off peak" rates (so 00:30 - 04:30) and went to night time ASHP and battery charging

image

Example day from the 19th of March - a nice sunny day. You can see basically zero power use outside of the "off peak" hours. I expect moving forward my bills will begin to drop towards zero, with only standing charges remaining. My battery is set to stop filling in April, however I might extend this to maybe 50% fill for April, as I wind down my grid use entirely.

@batalto 

If you were like me and had no pv/batteries, how many kWh do you think you would have used and how much would it have cost you at cap rates?

@kev-m whatever you think you need - double it.

As I said on a previous post I think you can build it fairly cheaply, it depends how much you want? Do you know your use?

I'm thinking about it seriously now.  I'm not sure what the numbers would look like without the tariff you have; I don't think it's available.

Hi Kev,

I think that you are correct, that the tariff that Batalto is currently enjoying will never be available again, since the Go Tariff will increase in April to approximately 7.5p/kWh during the 4 hour cheap period, and I can't remember if the expensive rate was in the 20 or 30 pence range.

I was moved to Octopus last September onto their variable tariff, and I have just looked (as a customer) to see what the Go Tariff is now, and if it was possible to change tariff. I was only offered one ridiculously expensive tariff, which certainly wasn't Go.

@kev-m ours was worth it, even without Go. Go was just another benefit for us

Hi Batalto,

Whilst the site provides the tariff rates 7.5p and 29.82p, it would appear that it will not allow one to switch to that tariff.

@kev-m I didn't have one. I just signed up and had to wait for it to be installed. Took ages though
