Does this actually mean that your bill goes down?

Yep, Octopus Agile. So far I’ve been paid about £0.30 for my usage this morning. Reckless usage, I’ve got everything turned on.

Are you serious? You literally just turned everything in the house on?

It might sound like wasting power but the reason the price is negative is that there is too much production or to put it another way not enough load on the grid. OP is doing exactly what the grid wants, though I think I would try and use it for productive means if I could.

If it makes you feel any better, some devices in the house are being used for good, like keeping some baby rabbits warm.

I'd charge that car!

What sort of prices are you getting in the middle of the night?

How high do the prices go at teatime?

So far the highest I’ve seen is 46p. 12p over my old rate. But these only seem to last for an hour at most. You can view public data on various sites like: https://agileprices.co.uk
