Mildly Interesting

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

It's still not earning you money to spend electricity because you still have to pay the transfer fee which is around 6 cents / kWh but it's pretty damn cheap nevertheless, mostly because of the excess in wind energy.

Last winter because of a mistake it dropped down to negative 50 cents / kWh for few hours, averaging negative 20 cents for the entire day. People were literally earning money by spending electricity. Some were running electric heaters outside in the middle of the winter.

The energy prices in Sweden were also mostly negative yesterday, and today as well. Although probably not quite as much as in Finland.

Currently it's gone back up to 7p (about half to normal price), but the solar has kicked in and I'm supplying power to the grid anyway.

Scottish Power will charge me £330 this month anyway. Dry fucks.
