From today until the end of September, the volumetric network tariffs for households in Austria 🇦🇹 will be 20% lower between 10:00 and 16:00.
This will encourage users to shift energy-intensive activities such as EV charging to midday, when there is plenty of sunshine.

From today, German petrol stations will only be allowed to increase their prices once a day.

I don’t know if these German politicians have any experience of raising children, but monsters under the bed won’t go away just by closing your eyes. I suppose German car drivers get a magic lamp as well. Probably an oil lamp. Rub it and the genie will grant all your fossil dreams.

to create behind-the-meter and front-of-meter benefits.

I’m currently analysing the first European V2G bundles: these are currently limited to energy markets (front-of-meter), whereas the benefits for the user could be much greater. There’s a gap here that needs filling!
