United Kingdom
General community for news/discussion in the UK.
Less serious posts should go in [email protected] or [email protected]
More serious politics should go in [email protected].
Try not to spam the same link to multiple feddit.uk communities.
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.
Posts should be related to UK-centric news, and should be either a link to a reputable source, or a text post on this community.
Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.
If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread.
Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.
Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.

Yes, but night rate is worth it if you have a EV or house battery. 7p per kWh instead of the 29p per kWh of the day rate. Huge saving.
I’m on Octopus Agile. They were paying me to use electricity the other day
You got a house battery? If I had a largish house battery I'd certainly move to that and automate the battery use by electricity costs. ;-)
Yup I have solar panels and a 5kWh battery. The panels don't do much in the winter, but the batteries have proved their worth with the tariff. I have a few other automations like the immersion heater coming on when prices go negative
I did maths on a battery with my current tarrif, but agile probably means I should revisit. What I really want is a nice big second life EV battery.
