What is a Hybrid Dynamic Tariff?

This short explainer breaks down the elements for easy understanding:

Tariff:

A tariff is the pricing structure an energy supplier will provide to an individual or business that dictate how much they will pay/be paid and under what terms. There are hundreds of nuanced types of tariff, some for supply only, some for selling energy back to the grid, some tariffs are standard, some businesses negotiate bespoke tariffs.

Dynamic tariff:

The dynamic aspect of a tariff refers to pricing fluctuating with the markets. Why would anyone want to dice with the unknowns? Well, more often than many people realise, the markets can provide decent return on investment when using an intelligent, forward-looking optimisation engine. The uncertainty isn’t for everyone, and can make financial planning somewhat difficult, but for those willing to ride the wave there’s potential for huge net-savings and even profits.
