Fill your batteries and get exporting.....
Looks like it's overlapping hour slots for energy providers.

If you could get an IOG cheap slot tonight between 17:00 and 18:30 it would be worth using instead of overnight as it would increase your baseline but only by a tenth as the baseline is averaged over 10 previous working days if its a working day on the test slot. I tried but IOG is not giving me anything before 9pm, I think my EV is too full. :evil:

I'm still waiting for my export MPAN to be enrolled too. :facepalm:

I have just been thinking about the baseline and how it would be gathered. I'll play along regardless for the greater good. OGB would be proud of our selflessness. :whistle:

Although I must say, the fun has been taken right out of it! :twisted:

Opting in on Octopus is now open.

Hopefully 8 octopoints for a rounding error. :xx:

Got this on my laptop:
"We're sorry, you can't join Saving Sessions at the moment"

Tried again on the app but no joy until I updated the app and now working fine. :D
