Octopus will be paying 24p / kWh, assuming you get the email, I'm still waiting. If exporting you can add 15p / kWh onto it and whatever you've boosted your baseline too adds even more.

There'll be a lot less wind tomorrow (probably half the amount today, and today is already a very small amount) and the chances of a payout higher.

Yes, tomorrow (forecast) is technically worse than today.

I have not yet had an email but "Opt In" is now available via my online Octopus account, but not the APP. :whako:

IO cheapslots engaged and home batteries are now charging. :twisted:

Agile prices are insane tomorrow, Import 99.9p / kWh, and Export for 92.95p / kWh.

I've seen import prices up there before but not that high for export. :shock:
