Everyone loves variable pricing when it pays you to use electricity! *5 days later* We regret to inform you that prices can go up as well as down. In the UK, they're capped at a maximum of £1/kWh - we'll nearly hit that this evening. Can you avoid doing laundry in the evening? What about cooking?

Tomorrow, between 1am and 9am, we'll be paid to use electricity. Our home battery will charge itself automatically for use later in the day. Probably not worth me staying up all night to bake bread 🤣 - but it does go to show how the green energy transition is accelerating.

This is *nuts*! We were told that nuclear would make electricity too cheap to meter. Instead, renewables are providing 77% of the UK's electricity right now - so we're going to be paid to use power for most of the day.

Electricity prices in the UK are negative for the next few hours. Thanks to all the green energy being generated. I built a little home display using an obsolete Android tablet. Lets me know when I'm getting paid to cook pizza. Join Octopus and we both get £50 share.octopus.energy/metal-dove-988

Well, the people offering to "sponsor" my open source work with their shitty crypto coin didn't take too kindly to that!
Hi Terence,

I’m honestly not sure why you would ask me something like that, as the comparison seems quite absurd to me.

That said, I’m open to hearing your reasoning. Is your response related to your views on crypto, or is there something specific about our sponsorship proposal that led you to make that comparison?

I’d genuinely appreciate understanding where you’re coming from and how you see the sponsorship idea as being related to teaching children how to smoke.

I enjoy comparing @solar.jamesomalley.co.uk and @solar.bots.edent.tel We're both reasonably close location-wise, but have different panel orientation, amounts, power ratings, etc. There's no right or wrong configuration, but I find it fascinating to see how and where they differ.

Fair play to Thames Water. Reported a blocked sewer earlier. *Three* minutes later, they emailed to say someone would be there shortly! Forty minutes later I had a bloke turn up with a massive hose and snake camera. Took him half an hour to blast away the fatberg 🤢 Not bad for a Saturday service!

Ran the cheap and fairly inefficient air conditioning unit most of yesterday. Our solar panels were still generating *more* electricity than we could use - and kept exporting during the day.
