There's a section in the form where you can add your region/postcode to a list of "We want Power Ups here too".

Re: Octopus power ups Northern Scotland
That's good to hear Dan. Apparently it's been on the go up here since Dec 24. No idea why it's not been advertised, otherwise, what's the point?

It might morph into a turn up national DFS, the NESO have plans in the future, NESO are paying for this trial.Oliver90owner wrote: ↑Thu Mar 06, 2025 11:31 amWhy not?AE-NMidlands wrote: ↑Thu Mar 06, 2025 11:20 am Lucky you, living in Scotland and this as well!

Re: Octopus power ups Northern Scotland
I've registered interest for North West Wales, we have plenty of offshore wind up here so hopefully at some point it might become a possibility for power ups.

There is a session here 8pm to 10pm tonight. I don't anticipate qualifying for this one since I only joined today but it will be nice for other times. Funny, we spoke about incentives and here it has been.

Re: Octopus power ups Northern Scotland
I was thinking that there isn't that much in the way of renewable generation around me and probably not ever going to be a shortage of demand either.Oliver90owner wrote: ↑Thu Mar 06, 2025 11:31 amWhy not?AE-NMidlands wrote: ↑Thu Mar 06, 2025 11:20 am Lucky you, living in Scotland and this as well!

However thinking further away, there is Moxi's N Wales and Irish Sea stuff, so maybe I'll volunteer/request it too.
p.s. just did it, and it was so familiar that I'm sure I must have registered my interest before!
