Axle Energy went for bust at £2.50/kWh and rejected.
Octopus also had one of their bids rejected at £1.

Just over £16 here, similar tonight I suspect. :oO:
Should have been £24 each for me for the last two, but will only be £12 each....
I think I might be a few pence less than last night as I forgot to unplug the iPad. :facepalm:
Yep a penny less for the last one. :?

I exported 0.03 kWh less last night, but on the flip side my baseline tonight is a healthy 6.34 kWh. I didn’t think I made as much effort on weekends to switch although I have cooked a few roast dinners the past 2 Sundays, every cloud :hysteria:

I got nothing for yesterday (as I'm not exporting yet - come on, DNO!) but I guess I might have a different baseline for the weekend, so maybe some luck tonight.
What about the bonus for registering for them all, even if you can't make any saving in the (half) hour?

There was 100 bonus points for the last two, and tonight's if your on a streak, so just opting in is enough. I would imagine there will be some end of sessions prizes with better chances of winning for the ones on higher streaks. But they might wait till end of the month as there is always a very distant chance of a live session if some calamity occurs.
