Blog2023 ≫ Nearly quadrupling our energy usage

No wait, this is a good thing! This is during the free energy hours when Octopus want us to draw more energy from the grid.

During the Power Ups on 06/12/2023, 08/12/2023, 13/12/2023 you’ve used 365.0% more electricity than usual. We’ll credit you a total of £3.44 for all of the electricity you used during this time.

As a collective Power-ups customers have used a total of 1.03GWh spare green electricity, stopping it going to waste and keeping the grid in balance.

There's another one here tomorrow, so tumble dryer's going on and I'll do a hot wash to clean the washing machine. I know how to live!

Just went for a walk round Sandgate, before dinner. Not enough exercise, should have made the effort at lunchtime too.
