Comment on Smart meter figures: Nearly four million not working properly
jabjoe@feddit.uk 3 months agoYes, 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.

I’m on Octopus Agile. They were paying me to use electricity the other day

You got a house battery? If I 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.
