Pyrotequila Posted September 18, 2023 Share Posted September 18, 2023 Stormy days means cheap power! But I can't help but notice that they seem to lower energy production using gas at the same time too? Is this to artificially keep the price per Mwh higher? I just find it quite odd that we have this generation capacity, but yet they lower it and buy in power from France or Norway instead of generating at home. https://grid.iamkate.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And yes its nice to see it windy again. Tracker prices spike downwards to 14.34p tomorrow, for half hour Agile customers is likely to be around the 1p mark per unit overnight!

HeHasRisen Posted September 19, 2023 Share Posted September 19, 2023 (edited) Was minus pricing for Agile customers for an hour overnight, given all the wind about still wouldnt be surprised if its another cheap day tomorrow. My electric is 14.34p a unit today, the government cap most are paying is currently around double that. EDIT - yup down to 13.79p a unit tomorrow, and Agile customers likely to have even more negative pricing.

Pyrotequila Posted October 4, 2023 Share Posted October 4, 2023 Finally had our first full month bill for being on the Tracker, the previous one was a part month. Previous supplier EDF, our average cost was £80. This bill from Octopus was £52 😂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeHasRisen Posted October 15, 2023 Share Posted October 15, 2023 A heads up to both @The_DADDYand @Pyrotequila that things are starting to shoot up. Electric is 23.55p tomorrow and gas will be 6.4p or so, markets opening tomorrow will be interesting. Half hourly tariff people will be paying over 60p a unit tomorrow evening 🤯 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pyrotequila Posted October 15, 2023 Share Posted October 15, 2023 I'm guessing the jump is because of the sudden blast of chilly weather? Forecast for next week is cool, but not cold, and fairly breezy from Tuesday. Once it moves into being properly wintery the markets will settle down?

There is no wind tomorrow so heavy reliance on gas to generate electric, and the price of that is up 50% in a week. More wind as the week progresses.

Baron99 Posted October 15, 2023 Share Posted October 15, 2023 This has also increase the price of gas in the UK. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-67070389 Another mysterious undersea pipeline explosion? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
