Surge Pricing For Power On The Way

Surge Pricing For Power On The Way
APRIL 17, 2024
 
By Paul Homewood

h/t Philip Bratby

Probably the worst kept secret of the year:
 

Smart meters and other energy appliances such as heat pumps will be equipped with a surge pricing function under plans being put forward by ministers.


The proposals under consultation by the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero (DESNZ) would require a string of devices to be “smart” by default, allowing them to take advantage of so-called time of use tariffs.

As an example of surge pricing, these tariffs charge households more for electricity when demand is highest and less when it is lower.

Supporters argue they could lead to household savings if appliances or electric cars are programmed to only draw power when prices are low.

I predicted this years ago when smart meters were first jammed down homeowners throats...these things enable the government to directly control your HVAC systems, overriding your preferences.

So, this inflation thing is only going to get worse?

Looks like grandma will only be able to afford to use her oxygen concentrator at night.
