Great Britain households to be urged to use more power this summer as renewables soar

Incentives to absorb surplus wind and solar energy could help balance the grid and lower bills (anything besides making hydrogen they chant)

Households will be called on to boost their consumption of Great Britain’s record renewable energy this summer to help balance the power grid and lower energy bills.

Under the new plans, people could be encouraged to run dishwashers and washing machines or charge up their electric vehicles when there is more wind and solar power than the electricity grid needs.

The plan will be delivered with the help of energy suppliers, which may choose to offer heavily discounted or free electricity to their customers during specific periods when the energy system operator predicts there will be a surplus of electricity.

Many suppliers already offer more than 2m households the opportunity to pay lower rates for electricity used during off-peak hours but this will be the first time that the system operator will use this tool to help balance the grid.

The National Energy System Operator (Neso) hopes that by issuing a market notice to call on energy users to increase their consumption it can avoid making hefty payments to turn wind and solar farms off when demand for electricity is low, which are ultimately paid for through energy bills...more

Some people must be "chanting" pretty effectively (whatever that means)

Maybe the People in the US should "Chant" (whatever that means) the 25th amendment more. Their "president" and many others know NOTHING about renewable energy. Or anything else besides claiming "Bone Spurs" to avoid a draft. Pathetic. The US has turned into an almost complete clown show, while China forges ahead. Maybe they "chant" (whatever that means) better. ROFL at the circus.

free and now power will really, really be free.
