Octopus saving sessions coming 1st Nov
Re: Octopus saving sessions coming 1st Nov
Only Utilita bothered bidding at 34p / kWh and not surprisingly was rejected.
I note there is a NESO webinar later this month regarding reviewing this seasons DFS so far, that should be a laugh.

Re: Octopus saving sessions coming 1st Nov
Another DFS session today but as usual, only bids 15p / kWh and under were accepted.
Octopus did their usual 25p / kWh bid and was rejected.

Re: Octopus saving sessions coming 1st Nov
Another DFS session today and Octopus WAS ACCEPTED at 15p / kWh between 5:30pm and 6:30pm. 
Nowty Towers, switching from discharge mode to charge mode with IOG cheap slots in order to take advantage.

Re: Octopus saving sessions coming 1st Nov
Opting in is now open at 12p / kWh after the Octopus takes its cut.
So if you can export you get 15p + 12p = 27p / kWh.
Plus of course whatever your baseline is if it's been boosted with IOG cheap slots.

Re: Octopus saving sessions coming 1st Nov
I just looked to opt in and found I was already opted in.
Then it dawned on me, I had installed an app in Home assistant that does it for me automatically.
