Powershop just announced that they are introducing Seasonal ToU charging, i.e. different Peak/shoulder time periods in each season, for NSW Ausgrid customers (details here – https://help.powershop.com.au/pricing-rates/information-on-my-tariff-nsw-qld) starting 1st July (i.e. this coming Sunday)
Based on current PVOutput config, that will mean changing my tariff Time Periods 4 times per year. Not a big deal, but will result in inaccurate data if I go back and view data from a previous season, using a current season’s tariff time periods.
Would it be possible to enhance the current PVOutout Tariff Time Periods to support Seasonal ToU by allowing multiple Time Period setups (corresponding to the different seasons) that are activated by Date Ranges?
