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.

Does it ever make you want to turn on every appliance in the house just for the hell of it? Lol
No, since we pay a flat transfer rate on top of that, about 2-6 cents per kWh depending on the area.
Of course, that doesn't stop idiots from turning on all their stoves during these times anyway.
That's still pretty cheap though
Yeah in summer the electricity here can be very cheap in summer but in winter it can go to 0.20-1€/kw/h
Interesting. In the UK we have a fixed standing charge per day (about 45p), so when the price goes negative it is in your interest to use as much as you can. The most negative I've seen is -10p/kWh, but most of the time it's fractions of a penny.
