Yes you sure can!

You are in control of proposing prices for peer-to-peer trade rules, and for setting community trade prices. Powertracer allows you to set different prices for these trade rules at different times of the day, known as time-of-use pricing.

To set time-of-use pricing when proposing a peer-to-peer trade rule, or setting your community trade prices, select the Time-of-use pricing button:

A new page will open that allows you to add clauses for each different price you wish to set. To get started, first select whether you are buying or selling energy and which trade point you are buying for or selling from. Next click on either the Add clause button to set up the time-of-use rules, or click Copy from retailer default to use your retailer default time-of-use prices.

Clicking on Add clause reveals all the time-of-use options available to you. You can set the price that applies for the month of the year, the day of the week, the time of the day, and whether this clause applies during daylight savings and on public holidays.

So much choice! You can set as many clauses as you like to suit your needs.

Note: your retailer sets agreed pricing for large-scale and retailer default trade rules. This means that the time-of-use pricing you can control is for peer-to-peer and community trade rules only.
