Power Move and Christmas 2024

What are you going to miss out on if you don’t hit the target? If you think you’d be £10 worse off because of the new rule, you may be able to bring that figure down by increasing your offpeak usage on the days when it does count. You’d have to do your sums, but £10 buys ~40 kWh of electricity. That’s a lot of heating or cooking or electric showers. 

Cook what you can during off-peak today - I’ve just done a large fruit cake this morning.

You could cook your turkey or whatever joint you are having today and have it cold or reheated tomorrow. (I’ll be cooking mine sometime after 7 tonight).
Same with potatoes and veg, parboil them today and finish them off by boiling, or roasting, or air frying tomorrow.

It will also save you time cooking tomorrow.

​@Belinda5 All good advice from the people who know. Have a carefree Christmas Day and Boxing Day and that will help towards you achieving your target. As ​@Nukecad has said, on other days you can prepare outside of the peak but take care with food safety with keeping things chilled where necessary. Have a good Christmas break.
