I suspect with the abandoning of the “in day adjustment” in the rewards formula, I’m unlikely to match last years total. ;)
But if my export MPAN number gets applied soon, there might still be some power saving shenanigans at Nowty Towers.

FWIW, I just checked and the Octopus app last updated on Friday for me (Android), so it could be any number of reasons. Sorry I can't give a more solid answer than that.

I wonder if it is something to do with which regional markets?

I was in on their (national grid) webinar a month or so back and I thought they said they were going to measure export as well as import for the baseline and the actual saving session.

I read through the latest DFS docs this afternoon and I think its on, so us battery folk (with an export MPAN) can still make some reasonable payback if we can get our systems to force discharge during the saving session. :twisted:

Just haven't got the export MPAN yet. :evil:

Last page,

Also in the T&C’s for the Octoplus sessions.

“56. If you also have an export meter associated with your import meter signed up to the Saving Sessions, you will be credited on your net reduction (import - export), in line with the ESO Demand Flexibility Service specifications.“
