Re: UK Energy Prices
On a very warm evening, good luck with that.
All the fans will still be on, as will aircon for those that have it.
I'm over in Spain to [hopefully] see it.

Paul, no, no hopefully, move heaven and earth to be in the line of totality. It really is spectacular.

It’s a publicity stunt to show off how they’re trying to actively balance power generation, use and storage. I get it in stereo from them with an EV charging tariff, they want the car plugged in at all times when it’s at home so they can dump excess power into it, and they have some gimmick involving cartoon fish in the app that’s supposed to amount to additional off-peak charging hours if I’m a good boy.

Re: UK Energy Prices
We've had quite a lot of 'cleanly produced' excess power lately, but without adequate storage a fair bit is wasted . . there again at these prices, who wants it?
