- monkeydust 6y agoInteresting offering. This is where you want a battery (electric car counts as one). Costs need to come down first.
- jonatron 6y agoI actually don't have a battery. I have a large hot water tank with immersion heaters, heated overnight. I'm already on "economy-7", which is where the price is cheaper for 7 hours overnight.

- jonatron 6y agoOh, cool, interesting to see a similar thing exists elsewhere. It looks like Griddy is missing a reasonable price cap though.
- londons_explore 6y agoNotice that it's pseudo-realtime pricing... The price for a given half hour is set the day before. That means the price can't adjust for unpredictable events like a power station failing.
