Great Britain wastes £180,000 every hour switching off wind turbines and overpaying gas generators to switch on. That's £1,112,862,229 so far this year! wastedwind.energy
Wasted Wind
Britain wastes millions a day switching off wind turbines. See how much has been wasted today, and in 2025.

While researching the different Octopus Energy tariffs I realised that they were being really clever. Generally, electricity for charging batteries and EVs are at a different time to the electricity used for heat pumps. Neat, tidy, clever. I assume other providers are doing something similar.
