Enough BS (bad science) - here are the facts.

Turns out net zero is cheaper than a single fossil fuel crisis. 🤷

The sooner we build on clean, home-grown energy, the sooner we stop handing the keys to foreign gas markets. But we also need market reform now - so customers, not just corporations, actually reap the benefits of renewables.

Wow that’s a great stat.

Well indeed. If methane can destroy a house I’d hate to think what hydrogen might do to a street. But in my blog there’s more to this too that I don’t want to distract from. A kWh of electricity gives me 3+kWh heat via a heat pump. That same kWh would create 0.5kWh heat via Hydrogen. 6x difference!

Hi Jon, the example query on the developer page is out of date (fix coming) and that version is retired. Instead try this one api.octopus.energy/v1/products/... as the most recent version. But check which Agile version you are on to ensure you get the right rates.

This is what it's all about. There may be highs, but theres always lows. Which does seem counter intuitive to say and applaud.

And even worse they’ll find it really hard to add more. Similarly hard to get the export limit removed too.

Oct/Nov/Dec around two-thirds of the time it’s been below 24p. In year to Oct'24 average customer saving on Agile was £525 vs our Flex rate. All historical data here agile.octopushome.net/historical-d... including comparison tool.

Agile’s looking spicy tomorrow so avoid that peak (I’m West Mids). Remember we cap at £1 which Scotland reaches. Even so a third of the day is still below our Fixed rate so shifting time of use still works. Last -ve's were only on 23/24/25 Nov (-4.54p lowest).

Came across this www.eonenergy.com/business/net... and can’t help but think if a new build site deliberately under-specs the local grid then it’s self-enforcing reduced solar install (photo implies that) and therefore restricted export. E.g. wouldn't then support Zero Bills.

Zonal Pricing. Really important. We need to stop throwing away excess wind energy fish we’ve already paid for. And stop gas setting the price!

a cartoon with two panels

panel one is a stick figure saying "oh! a fossil fuel!!" standing above a crudely drawn black lump under a brown ground

Panel two is them walking away and saying "I'll just leave it there"

The head of the person is not a drawn circle but the letter O, because the random software I used to draw it did that for unexplained reasons

Please allow me to re-share my rough sketch of some advanced carbon capture technology

If you were storing at 60 all the time it’ll affect the efficiency. Common, which I think we set on all our installs, is 60 cycle once a week.

Octopus Energy now lets homes donate their excess solar to those who need it Instead of selling excess energy into the grid, customers can choose to gift it instead.
