I do too, I just clicked on the beta thing in an idle moment.
Also discovered that I have 6 badges! Not in the first 300 GF people, or whatever the one we were shown above was.

According to my figures October has already gone!
Don't know if anyone else's chart shows an over production for the hour to 1 am this morning but our peak is normally 1.55 kW's, for that hour it is showing 1.8 !
Maybe, but the beta data is a bit creaky: my chart for last week shows zero for the 28th, which wasn't a bad day at all!

I take my data daily from the 7 day previous graph and keep an eye out for adjustments.

Assuming reasonable accuracy (fingers x'd), I need 17.5 kWh between now and midnight to beat Dec 22. :o

Edit, just checked the month Insights graph and it says 12.5kWh needed. Wind is falling, exciting! :twisted:
I'm with Adokforme, Oct 22 on my data fell around 6am this morning. I've taken my daily data from the original section. There is always a little change the following day(s) as the live data is taken from an estimate from the live power output (kW) which they turn into kWh and the day after they make an adjustment based on the actual generation meter in kWh. The other quirk is the billing to Octopus is in GMT time all year round.

Not a bad end to the month at all...
and on that webpage this is interesting:
The wooden towers not only store carbon but also continue to absorb it during their lifetime.
which I would never have guessed. It makes it all the more important to re-use salvaged old wood rather than burn it!

Great spot Joeboy, thanks posting. :D
Just to put the icing on the cake GF is now tantalisingly close to passing Nov'22 figure and claiming the second highest months generation behind that of Jan this year. :D

For the Nov 22 total to go, Its going to come down to how much gets added on after the month end close out, it will be very close if it stays at full tilt. As they use GMT time it should clock up until 1am BST :twisted:, and sometimes some other random number seems to be added. :lol:

I've also just noticed although we won't beat Jan 23, its now beaten January's baseline in July. :shock:

I've given up today (yet happy), figures I thought were solid (4 day test) from start of month are out by multiple kWh's. Regardless of the final month count. No worries, this is the best purely financial month by miles. :twisted:

On our dashboard and according to the new insights total, up to and including 30/6, was 412.06 kWh's. Todays total so far is showing 27 kWh's so a total of 439.06. Our total for last November was 436.83 so unless I've made a boob somewhere July's total appears to have surpassed that of last November, accepting that confirmation must of course come from the generation Meter.
Just checking Octopus figures for last November I notice they paid an extra 5p over what my spreadsheet shows, so at last years rate perhaps another 0.6 kWh needs adding to the 436.83 figure so totalling 437.43 ish! :roll:
When it comes to CF's, last November returned an impressive 38.9% whereas July '23 is a mere 37.9%, but with one extra days generation the output appears greater albeit with a 1% lower CF figure! :?
