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:
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! :?
Feck, I'll have to borrow the birch off Mart to beat myself up with. :lol:

For all the other records I was looking at the total generation in kWh, but as there seemed to be no chance of Nov 22 falling, I relied on my capacity factor graph and worked out it was not going to quite make the same CF. But I forgot about the extra calendar day in July over November so although the CF is marginally less it still wins on total generation. :mrgreen:

So July 23 should be the second highest month of generation ever in the joint lowest baseline month. :shock:

I've re-checked against the original graph numbers (for today) which comes out at a few kWh less than the "insights" tab but mine still adds up about 2 or 3 kWh above Nov 22 in the last hour with 1 or 2 hours to still add on. There is a wildcard of the dodgy suspicious high number at the start of the day but the last half hour just gone should wipe that out even if that first hour turns out to be slightly too high.

I'm looking at circa £230 credit vs my energy bills (inc SC) were under £21. 8-)

There was 1 more kWh to add to my final numbers to come out at 38.1% CF. :mrgreen:

Thats against a July baseline of 17.7% and last years miserable score of 10%. :shock:

What a sight. :lol:

Glad then to have not seen the columnar photo? I was thinking earlier (steady) how these enhanced financial and CF's can contribute meaningfully to pay for next projects 🤔

The investment is coming back fast and I think significantly faster than expected?

It certainly is, but of course the price we get per kWhr is likely to drop right back down on the anniversary of our 27p/kWhr contract. It will be a good year, but I guess unlikely to continue or be repeated.

For GF should hear in Dec 23 for per kWh figure from Mar 24 onwards.

For KH first output should by Jan 24 with ad hoc price per kWh structure from then until 1st April when the official per kWh price will be implemented. First payment from KH should be start April or May 24.

DW switch on Sept 24? PPA figure August 24? :?

Crystal 🔮 is cloudy beyond that.

I do wonder how many on & offshore wind turbine projects across Europe were fast tracked to get them up and running before Winter 23 hits Had a whole season to top off the LNG stores too. I am hoping for 12p per kWh from 1st April but lower is fine and even lower better if Russia pulls back.

Thanks for posting that Nowty, I wonder if the whingers from last July are still whinging!
But just imagine the impact if last July's figures and this were reversed! :shock:

Yes, far better to have a windy July this year at 27p / kWh vs last year's 9.64p / kWh. :twisted:

If your wondering why generation at GF has dropped in the last couple of hours, its because its near the eye of Storm Antoni. :shock:

Normal service will resume shortly as the storm moves eastwards. :twisted:
