@roastinghouse I don’t think the mainstream reports make clear enough that this is old news for many. Large industrial users are used to being incentivised to either turn down or turn up as requested by the grid operator. Meanwhile Octopus has provided smart time of use tariffs to millions of consumers for at least the last 2-3 years. I accept this might be news to customers of the other major suppliers, whose efforts to date have been very conservative. Still, it’s good news.

@christineburns The news I was reading was making it grid-wide rather than supplier specific. It said some upgrades are needed - not sure what, leave that for the engineers. But yes, if the old news for many became the norm for everyone - more good news.
