TBH, I am asking as I like the fanboy initiative Octopus roled out a couple of years back, I also like this free power initiative but looking beyond that to a time when nodal pricing across the UK region saturation/demand/RE generation area dependent is fully deployed. I don't think we are quite there yet and I'm not into the who generated what and when. Although this made me think of it "Nodal".richbee wrote: ↑Tue Aug 20, 2024 3:04 pm Don't think the lack of email or otherwise is regional necessarily - I haven't had any emails since the first one, but my wife gets one each time for her son's flat in Newcastle, which is only 25 miles away, so presumably in the same region??
Has anyone had a summary email from the 1st session saying how much they have saved?
Does anyone else see it on the app? I can only see any mention of free electricity when I log in on Chrome on PC or phone, not the app

Re: Octopus Free Power Hours
Cool! I am still hoping for clarification as I like the idea of the grid evolving organically and hopefully projects going in at denser population points where demand is highest. I find this stuff fascinating.

Greg Jackson has been tweeting a lot about the need for/benefits of regional pricing recently.

Isn't the app what you get on a [smart]phone? I use Firefox on a laptop to look at my account and Gmail emails come in via Thunderbird. I have been emailed about each one (that I know of) so far.richbee wrote: ↑Tue Aug 20, 2024 3:04 pm Don't think the lack of email or otherwise is regional necessarily - I haven't had any emails since the first one, but my wife gets one each time for her son's flat in Newcastle, which is only 25 miles away, so presumably in the same region??

I thought they said that the notification would be within a week and the first one was last Thursday... payment (credit back to our accounts) at billing time, I think

Re: Octopus Free Power Hours
Mine's set to 100% for today's session and I've just dragged out a 3Kw log saw to cut some timber free for an hour, fingers crossed etc.
Forgot, dishwasher is going to run a bit late today for free as well.
