Seems these Spring storms are very good for wind generation which is currently 70% of national demand. The price of electricity is currently £ -25 / MWh.
Is anyone being paid to take it?
Yes, I'm on Octopus Agile and the prices have often been been negative over the last couple of days / nights. I dumped my battery to grid @15p then got paid to fill it up again. I also switched the immersion heater on, did 2 loads of washing and fired up the dishwasher too, oh, and used the tumble drier! I read of one guy who had already fully charged his car so he invited his neighbour to charge his car too 😎
I'll be dumping my full battery to grid again in an hour or so, then refilling as the prices are negative.👍
