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.

Nowty Towers, switching from discharge mode to charge mode with IOG cheap slots in order to take advantage. :twisted:

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. :mrgreen:

Plus of course whatever your baseline is if it's been boosted with IOG cheap slots. :twisted:

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. :facepalm:
