Surprised it's not been "bad" this last week to be honest.
Cold, no wind, snow and a bit out of season is not a good combination which would lead to low consumer demand and high renewable supply (cheap). If it's not been bad "now", then I can't think of many other circumstances where it would, other than Saudi and Qatar stopping shipping gas.
I see this as a quite strong market test, and a test of mettle for the tracker and both handled it very well.
Current price cap is, and will be:
| Energy price per unit
1 October to 31 December 2023 | Energy price per unit
1 January to 31 March 2024 |
---|
Electricity | 27.35 pence per kWh
53.37 pence daily standing charge | 28.62 pence per kWh
53.35 pence daily standing charge |
Gas | 6.89 pence per kWh
29.62 pence daily standing charge | 7.42 pence per kWh
29.60 pence daily standing charge |
Tracker sat at around 22p elec and 6p gas, average, over this last week, but savvy EV drivers will have avoided charging the car during the cold snap.
