Given the cost of energy I'm seriously thinking of rolling the dice a bit and try a bit of creative thinking to try and reduce our energy cost. For those who don't know electricity tariffs such as Octopus Agile unit charge differs every 30 min. Essentially for peak times your charged a premium, other times your electricity is generally cheaper than being on a standard rate so if your disciplined enough, you could in theory save.

You need a working compliant smart meter for this to work and yes I've no issue putting our washing machine/ tumble dryer etc on during the night.

I'd be interested in hearing if anyone has tried this or similar tariffs, is it worth the hassle or are the costs saved (if any) enough for the inconvenience ?
