    Because as I type this wind and solar combined are accounting for around 12% of generating capacity and over the course of a year gas sti makes up the biggest slice

      OK, sure. But why should I, someone on a 100% renewable tariff, continue to pay energy prices that are dictated by a energy source I’m not using? That makes no sense to me.

        You’re not. It’s a cap. So, I’m on an agile rate with octopus and there are times when my electricity prices are negative.

          How? We’re also with Octopus and our prices have never been negative.

            You on Agile? With prices that change every 30 minutes?

              Ah, no, we’re not. We’re on ‘flexible’, so that makes sense. Thanks.

Try not to spam the same link to multiple feddit.uk communities.
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.

Posts should be related to UK-centric news, and should be either a link to a reputable source, or a text post on this community.

Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.

If you think “reputable news source” needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread.

Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.

Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.
