On a monthly level, we saved on average 30% compared to the standard variable price contract.
For a total annual saving of almost £250!
Thanks @octopus.energy and @gjuk.bsky.social for the extra cash!

At a daily level, we had a saving almost every day of the year except for a few days in December.

Note, this is with barely any active behaviour change aside from setting our heating to run early in the morning when prices are lower.

Let's look at our consumption pattern.
Our peak consumption (yellow) is about 2 hours later than the average peak price (pink) thus we should have a good advantage with the flexible tariff.
(being Mediterranean helps)

Last week was indeed scary, with hourly prices reaching the cap of 100p/kWh for the first time.
However, the prices quickly came down and on Monday we already had an almost full night of zero prices.

According to Google trends it barely lasted two days 😅

In our new report we warn than Clean Power pathways relying on gas-CCS would extend the UK’s reliance on gas markets and prolong the toxic link between gas and electricity prices.

This would create a further barrier to electrification of heat and transport.

It's official, DESNZ signed the contract for the gas-CCS power plant Net Zero Teesside Power.

In Kind of Blue, we warned how this power plant's emissions could be much higher than reported due to emissions in the gas supply chain.
