The idea of free three hours of energy to use the abundance of mid day energy. But to many variables. How about this idea 💡 

 

When the Retailer is experiencing an abundance of energy which is creating negative prices, develop something similar to Peak Energy Rewards but in reverse. So you are incentivised to use more energy with zero usage charges within 1 to 4 hours. With the communication similar to peak energy rewards.

That's  good idea @HLF and I'm pretty sure AGL is making inroads to have such things in their plan packages in future.

 

The Solar Grid Savers trial is one where they are trialling curtailment of solar to the grid when such grid power excesses occur, but that only stops perfectly good energy going to the grid, a waste.

 

Such a shame to just see that power dumped to nowhere, when it could be used at times it's needed in the grid . . . all it would take is that little extra demand a reverse Peak Energy Rewards type setup could bring.

 

Hopefully a seed planted with the AGL execs and techies.
