A graph of unit rate vs time for my electricity prices. The graph bubbles along the 0p axis, below 0 overnight last night, a little hump to about 2p/kwh at 9am, going negative again 11-2pm. The graph then shoots up to 14p/kwh at 2pm, raising to 25p at 6pm, then back down again to 10p later.

   I'm on an unrestricted variable electricity tarrif.
   My price per kwh is about to go negative for 3 hours*

   I can get my oven and air con unit to fight each other, and be paid for it!

   *it's so windy that there's nowhere to put all the energy the turbines are generating, so they pay (mostly industry) to use it up. The price shoots up in the evening when everyone starts putting their heating on and cooking dinner. People on a fixed price tarriff are paying ~25p/kWh all day in the UK right now.
