Smart Time of Use tariffs

AJJewsbury

Looks like widespread Smart Time of Use tariffs are coming a step closer ... https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-62626908

Another incentive for home battery storage (EESS)?

  • the price already goes up during the "off peak" period.

    All depends on what you mean by 'off peak' in this brave new world - generally prices look to be lowest when wind and solar are both producing well, or if you prefer when gas generation is lowest (actually -ve price at around 16:00 on the 20th Aug). Wall clock time probably isn't the best yardstick going forward, but if you did want to stick with something like that I could see a few hours either side of solar midday being a new 'valley' and the 17:00 to 20:00 mentioned in the article as being a regular new peak time.
