In Germany.

I wonder if we'll get that over here. Now let's see. Puts a whole new slant on energy storing batteries. Get paid to generate electricity in my PV panels. Get paid to charge my batteries. Get paid to export electricity from my batteries.



So, get paid three times over. Hmm. Must watch out for that.

You are not aware of it bigot? I thought all Brexit morons would have tuned into the fact that Windscale energy was totally free.

Bang a few neutrons together, what could be easier and safer? No nasty foeigners involved.

Free leccy for the whole UK.

Just don't drink the milk :-(

I bet there is a lot of small print in that contract. Brian

There was no small print in the DUP's "heat your garden sheds" contract.

Why would anyone need a contract?

Still having comprehension problems harry. Perhaps you also write the misleading Independent headlines. <q>

So when the weather is hot, like it was in parts of Germany over the weekend, and most businesses are closed, plants generate an excess supply of power despite unusually low demand. Then it's a matter of simple economics - prices, in effect, dip below zero.

It's important to note that Germany's utilities companies aren't depositing money directly into consumer's accounts when this happens. Rather, the periods of negative-pricing lead to lower electricity bills over the course of a year. </q>

So the "refund" is proportional to each consumer's usage throughout the year, rather than their usage during the negative pricing periods? Doesn't sound the same to me.
