[QUOTE="johnb2713, post: 537461, member: 35153"] Nope, I mean price at off peak times like on GO at 7.5p kWh and free power hours every month and grid load reduction schemes which I get paid for. YES PLEASE Thats not the whole picture though, if I want to compare heating by heat pump 'v' heating be gas, much easier on a nice inhouse display and live data being recorded on home assistant. Nigh on impossible using caveman meters. Most energy companys are taking part in grid load reduction schemes, you get paid to reduce your consumption at a set time. The last 4 sessions, each 1 hour long has earned me £35 and I didnt have any inconvenience taking part. I top my batteries up mid afternoon and then run totally on inverter power for the duration. I dont need a stupid meter which you seem to promote, I have a Smart Meter that enables me to participate. You are completely ill informed about smart meters, the current energy providers and grid load reduction scheme. But that really isnt what happens, Octopus GO was developed for EV's, Octopus use time between 00:30 and 04:30 to offer very cheap energy (currently 7.5p kWh). Your claim of them charging more at dinner time and hope we didnt notice is completely in your head and not in the real world. [/QUOTE]
