Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

HappyG(rrr) do you have to be on a specific tariff with a specific company to get that rate of savings?

I'm massively assuming that you will access a deal where night rate is half the day rate, where you will get a battery capacity that covers all your use that used to be at peak rate and therefore that you will save half your electricity use charges. That's what we have found.

So... yes and bo. ANY elec supplier that does 3-4 hrs cheap rate that is approx half the cost of day rate or less of course!

Do a quick tariff search and see if your provider has such a thing (usually requires a start meter). If so then yes, any tariff like that. :-) G

For those that like DD monthly payment and calculating whether you're in too much credit/debit, Martin Lewis did a run down of where you should be in the credit/debit cycle in his podcast on wed.

Basically he says you should be in max debit at the moment, but listen to his full explanation on BBC sounds.

bbc.co.uk

He talks about fixes too for those interested.

Forecast to be 18 degrees here from Tuesday onwards, might even be able to turn the heating off. 😎

4 degrees when I went out for my run this morning.

I think energy companies should be forced to fix their meters :-)

I think making the meters work AND fitting them in every home are both important! :-) G

My latest statement is in from Octopus and for the second month payback from the panels exceeds the bill for consumption (by 50% in this case).

I wonder how much longer they'll keep the export tariff at 15p. They raised it when the import tariff rose to nearly 30p per unit but that's now down to 23p.
