[QUOTE="binky, post: 533522, member: 490"] can't see the off peak rates disappearing anytime soon, greater wind farm / green generation will mean the energy companies will still need to dump leccy overnight under certain weather conditions, and nuclear is decades away from coming on-line. Off grid always sounds great, but is hard to actually make cost efficient against limited importing from the grid. What I suspect may happen is more smart grid control of batteries combined with the half hour tariffs, but I personally would not want a third party using my battery stack to balance out grid issues, unless getting paid enough for exported energy! 3.7 years, only 24 months ago it would have been more like 12 years :eek: [/QUOTE]
