The UK is currently experiencing some prolonged windy weather and my all-renewable energy provider offers dynamic pricing. That means cheap energy and even negative-cost energy. This is where my HA instance shines and saves me a fortune on my power bill. Thanks again to the HA devs for this incredible project.

For the curious, I'm using bottlecapdave's excellent Home Assistant Octopus Energy integration via HACS.

I take it being in a flat means you’re renting? How did you go about monitoring all of your power?
