Octopus saving sessions coming 1st Nov

[Joeboy]

Almost certain we are having one tomorrow (15th) and I'm expecting an early one.
Coal is being warmed up for an early start too.

Would be nice.

Its on but ouch, its a late one,

Tomorrow Wed 15th March

18:30 to 19:30

250MW requirement which means Octopus will almost certainly be in it, but at the standard £3000 / MWh. Although I am sure they will put some higher bids in, they always do.

In day adjustment will therefore be 14:30 to 17:30.

Octopus are in at £3000.

Still not seeing a session to opt into, I assume it's the same for others here too?

[Caesium]

Enail just received..

Heads up: there may be a Saving Session tomorrow evening.
If the Session goes ahead, you'll be able to opt in as normal during the day tomorrow, and we'll send you a proper invite email with all the normal details then too.

Why are we sending you this email now? Saving Sessions is part of a wider project run by the National Grid. It's the biggest project of its kind in the UK to test how people can come together to balance the grid and avoid fossil fuels. We don't always know with loads of notice when the grid needs help.

As part of our testing in this project, we'd like to find out how readily people can get involved in a Saving Session with different amounts of notice. We suspect there might be a Session tomorrow. If there is, we'll only open opt-in's on the day. But we thought we'd give you a little pre-warning that there might be one coming up!

Keep your eyes peeled tomorrow, and get ready for a possible Session...

Sneaky.

I wonder if they will announce it as late as inside the in day adjustment window.

[Tinbum]

They would loose out as well if they did. I've not had an e mail yet.

[nowty]

They would loose out as well if they did. I've not had an e mail yet.

Neither have I, maybe we are on the naughty list.

[Tinbum]

Could they start only opening it up to selected customers?

Makes it awkward to know whether to charge the batteries overnight.

[Yuff]

No email here either, mind you my app hasn’t updated my use since Saturday, although readings are getting through to loop…..how does that work
