Message has appeared on the Octopus savings sessions page saying,

"We'll tell you about the first few Sessions by email. Keep an eye on your inbox!"

I'm still waiting,

Great news Mr J,

Saving Sessions are GO! (*claxon sounds*)

You're invited to a Saving Session TODAY (Wednesday 11th December) between 6pm - 7pm

Opt in below to join in and save power:
Count me in!
During this time, we'll pay you 480 Octopoints (thats 60p) for every unit of power you don't use compared to normal. Make sure you opt in otherwise you won't receive any points for taking part!

Are there any changes to Saving Sessions this winter?

The rewards will vary per event and might be lower than last year based on grid conditions, but there'll be more sessions meaning more chances to save. This also means we might not need everyone to turn down at the same time. With that in mind, we're doing things a little differently...
Introducing the Regional Rumble

To spice things up, we're throwing some friendly competition into the mix, with regions going head to head in a battle to lower the kilowatts!

Your region is: North Western

Heads up: all 14 regions are invited to join this Session, yours included!

My mum in the North West has received this too, but the important line is,

"Heads up: all 14 regions are invited to join this Session, yours included!"

Email now in and I've put down a team name of "Camelot" in case others want to do the same, if you have already opted in you can probably do it again to add the team name.

I reckon my baseline is around 8kW and if I do 8kW export I should be able to make around £12 with the 60p / kWh payout + the normal 15p / kWh export payment.

That will be about 4 or 5 days worth of free winter power.

Didn't think about camelot as a name - good idea!

I've found these entities in the Octopus integration with home assistant.

Does anyone know if they can be used?

Look at that wholesale price

[nowty]

Look at that wholesale price

Its only 30.8p / kWh, will be making 75p / kWh in less than an hours time.

And with my baseline boosted, more like 150p / kWh or £1500 / MWh.
