Meanwhile the #octopus Agile price in the N of Scotland is currently 84.7665 p/kWh and is set to go over 90 in an hour or so.

Not doing the washing up until after 22:00 or having my evening shower till after 23:00 today.

@edavies there was me complaining about 35p/kWh earlier 

@mactunag Yep. But we up this end of the island can have a legitimate moan that we're surrounded by wind farms but pay the highest electricity prices in the UK, even when there's a bit of a breeze.

A cynical person might suspect that the UK government refuses to do regional pricing because it would increase electricity prices for people in England who are likely to vote Labour or Tory but decrease them here where people vote LibDem or SNP.

Also, that lower electricity prices up this way might attract some energy-intensive business here and away from England. Perhaps. And perhaps similarly for Wales.

I'm sure any such suspicions would be totally unfair, of course.

@edavies @mactunag That’s exactly why they don’t like regional pricing.
Nor do they much like community energy agreements that power is cheap where it’s generated, independent of jacking up the price just because it can be sold to London.
