Bye Bye Octopus Agile

Only a little while after I updated the Agile Octopus Display we find ourselves leaving the Agile Octopus tariff. At the start it worked well and we were able to work around the expensive parts of the day and make good use of free (or sometimes even paid to use) electricity. But we did notice that when the weather was calm and cold the price of power got unpleasantly expensive all day. Above you can see the occasion a few weeks ago when we decided to quit. For reference I think the price of power should be in the twenties.

We did the sums and concluded that we would need an awful lot of free/cheap power to compensate for these high peak prices. So for now we are on a tariff which gets cheaper overnight and we’ll be working round that.
