    Yes, but night rate is worth it if you have a EV or house battery. 7p per kWh instead of the 29p per kWh of the day rate. Huge saving.

        You got a house battery? If I had a largish house battery I’d certainly move to that and automate the battery use by electricity costs. ;-)

          Yup I have solar panels and a 5kWh battery. The panels don’t do much in the winter, but the batteries have proved their worth with the tariff. I have a few other automations like the immersion heater coming on when prices go negative

            I did maths on a battery with my current tarrif, but agile probably means I should revisit. What I really want is a nice big second life EV battery.
