Spend the next few hours setting the heating to max and then min to use the energy...just used 10% of my battery in 2 hours doing that...I need to get a life..

2 weeks ago I was about to switch to GO for the winter months. I'd been tracking the costs of Agile vs Go and it was starting to sway in favour of the latter.
The last 10 days though have changed my mind. I'm spending 32% less on Agile compared to Go and think the lockdown, regardless of how windy it's going to be, will likely keep me on Agile for the rest of the year at least.

I would have thought that more energy is consumed in industrial premises than at home. Retail with ac/heating non stop, fluorescent lights, restaurants, bars etc.
It won't be as pronounced as Lockdown 1.0 though as some workplaces will still remain open if WFH is not an option.
I don't have the data to back any of this up so it's just my assumptions.
Well Agile is a pile of crap tomorrow that's for sure! (South West). Pretty much ~10p all day long, and 35p at the peaks.
I had naively thought I could charge my car in the early morning tonight, as it has been super cheap or negative the last couple of days. Grrr...

I think this lockdown will be less hard on industry than the previous one so I would be surprised to see prices even remotely similar to those.

A couple of coal plants that have been turned off for a fair time are being warmed up, ready to come on line today. In all probability this will push the price up, for those on Agile, as it looks like the cheap generators are struggling, and there will be a premium to pay to fire up offline coal plant, I'd guess.
There’s a number of gas and nuclear plants offline for maintenance and little wind
National Grid have enough to meet demand (despite the alarming headlines in the times etc) they just want more to bring the reserve up to normal levels.
