Negative Energy

It may be something of a promotion, but some houses in the UK are being paid, for the first time, for their daytime use of 'green electricity'  (https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2020/apr/05/thousands-to-be-paid-for-daytime-green-electricity-use-during-lockdown). This appears to result from a combination of circumstances including;- a) the Covid-19 lockdown (with closures to workplaces, pubs and restaurants) greatly reducing energy consumption; b) the bright, windy weather powering turbines and solar panels and c) the fact that, under these circumstances, renewables (wind and sunshine) are accounting for a very large percentage of electricity generation. Formerly, being paid to use 'green electricity' was limited to occasional night-time use by certain suppliers. I only wish it could happen on a regular basis (without the lockdown).
