Curtailment, like negative prices, seems like something that it is hard for people to have constructive conversations about.

Probably the cheapest and best option is to build more wind and not care too much if it increases curtailment.

Yes, all the things mentioned should be looked into and done when it makes financial sense but "wasting wind" is much less a thing to worry about than "burning gas", and I'd rather waste wind than waste money.

I like negative prices, I got paid to heat my hot water tank and have underfloor heating on last night for 1.5 hours.

Paid for 1.5 hours underfloor, or just on for 1.5?

*also where you are would be interesting. There's a big difference say between Scotland and Croatia.

>>jonatr+Mh
which supplier are you with?

>>Kaiser+qo
Octopus energy, on the agile octopus tariff: https://octopus.energy/agile/

>>jonatr+jp
For the brave!

But seriously (author of article here) I think that agile tariffs and more demand flexibility are probably a big part of the solution

I have the luxury of a 13khw battery, so it might make sense. But I suspect that when I need to use the grid will be uber peak £1.04 per kwhr.

Edit: for those who are curious, here is some data on prices over the last month: https://agileprices.co.uk/

I guess you can’t have two suppliers, one on a traditional fixed contract and one on the octopus stuff, and choose the best one

You can, but you need to own two neighbouring houses and be willing to install an (illegal) cable between them.
