'Octopus Energy has called on the National Grid ESO to stop burning coal and instead use consumer energy consumption flexibility to reduce demands on the energy grid.'

“Paying coal plants adds £400 million to bills – whilst paying customers could push bills down by a hundred million,” the company said.'

@alec @THECITY About those digester eggs. A year ago I found this same link. https://www.wm.com/NYCMA/WMCORe%20varick-factsheet%20073114.pdf
which describes the use of the Newtown Creek Dignester eggs and organics collection as a pilot of Waste Management. #DSNY is slow walking this like you wouldn't believe. Ask #NewtownCreekAlliance how long that facility has been flaring gas and talking about actually providing it to #NationalGrid customers. At least 4 years.

The fossil fuel vultures are gathering for another round of subsidies, for which #UK consumers will pay.

"Analysis of the public register before the auction shows that 69 new-build gas-fired plants have been proposed for 15-year contracts"

Rather than #InsulateBritain, our government proposes to subsidise gas producers until 2040.

Why the UK’s clunking grid system is stalling renewable projects, leaving energy bills higher for longer
#NationalGrid
#RenewableEnergy

Renewable energy developers are facing delays of more than a decade to generate electricity due to fundamental issues with the country’s grid system.

When conducting field research involving experimental electrical phenomenon, it pays to risk assess the situation. So we use specially marked cones for this purpose. Carry on about your business. #setenergyfree #lexorgone #zephaniakrantz #freeenergy #nonewnuclear #nationalgrid

Saved 98% on the last Saving Session, a total of 3.214 kWh lower than typical usage. That's bagged another 5792 OctoPoints worth £7.24.

That's the most so far! Not sure how much effect moving loads into the In Day Adjustment window had on that figure. Total now 10048 points, not much compared to some of you out there but better than nowt.

@hobbitswife I'm getting all our power usage in between 1pm and 4pm, since that's the In Day Adjustment window for a 5pm session, so should bump up our adjusted baseline a bit and give more saving. I suppose it's "gaming" the system a bit but I'm not using any extra power unnecessarily, just load-shifting in an optimised way.
