Re: PAS 63100:2024 - Protection against fire of battery energy storage systems for use in dwellings

Just checked my DNO, and even on the lowest category of G99 fast track (inform only Form A3-3), they now ask for battery capacity (kWh) on the form. :?

They didn't used to a while back. :xx:

Re: Octopus saving sessions coming 1st Nov

I have now checked the peak time Agile prices for tomorrow and they are similar to today, circa import at 40p / kWh and export at 20p / kWh. Non of the prices on offer tomorrow look low enough for a power hour.

Re: Octopus saving sessions coming 1st Nov

Octopus rejected at 30p / kWh.

Bids 15p / kWh and under were accepted.

I suspect Octopus won't accept anything were they cannot give approx the flexible tarrif rebate for leccy which is around 25p / kWh.

Re: Octopus saving sessions coming 1st Nov

Gas market is tight, day ahead price yesterday (i.e. for today) was highest in over a year. :? Day ahead Leccy price only dropped 12% after surging 50% the day before and year ahead price is also highest for around a year too. https://zenergi.co.uk/market-watch/ https://i.postimg.cc/WzC0x5Fj/Gas-25-...
