Seems like pretty standard variable pricing. Nice most of the time if you can match your electricity demand with price drops. But I do think this kind of pricing is what caused some massive power bills for some people when the Texas grid collapsed in 2021.
Yeah, the big concern for me is a price spike that I can’t scale load to avoid. I don’t own this house, so I can’t add something like solar or meaningful battery storage to it as far as I know; I’ve pondered about running the servers from stored power, though, I might look into it again
The writer definitely knows it.
