Yes, the baseline methodology is the same as last year, but no guaranteed test sessions and no premium rate guarantees. Also penalties for the service provider for under or over supplying (not for us participants). It will also not end in March but will run continuously as a year round commercial service. I do think there may be one initial test session though just to shake out any gremlins.

But I don't know if its actually live yet, there have been no announcements and the documents are all still at final draft status.

Just looked at the latest DRM and LOLP for tomorrow, I doubt any serious action will be taken unless the DRM drops to below 2000 MW.
But its going to be another dirty CO2 day.

No news yet... What is the latest something might be announced?
And is it really likely there will be no Saving Session export bonus for those of us who do our civic duty(!) by avoiding importing outside Flux hours anyway?
2.0 kW/4.62 MWh pa in Ripples, 4.5 kWp W-facing pv, 9.5 kWh batt
30 solar thermal tubes, 2MWh pa in Stockport, plus Congleton and Kinlochbervie Hydros,

Some of us will be glued to the system warning massages tomorrow so if anything happens I'm sure it will be timely posted, Tuesday does not look good either.

But it could be dealt with by some other action other than the Demand Flexibility Service.
