Is it no longer calculated on the hour before?

I heard that Octopus took note of the rampant abuse of the “in day adjustment” last year…

I can't see anywhere where they have accounted for it, is the DFS formula changed?

They really should have a home-adjustment from a notional energy use. I never use any peak energy because of my battery so get naff all from DFS.

I attended all the webinars, and the suppliers said although there was potential for perverse incentives, they had no evidence of any large scale abuse.

“No evidence”?

So as we normally use nothing at those times as we are still on battery, and we can't export as Powerwall is set to never export and we don't get paid for solar export as we don't have MCS certificate, we will get nothing? Oh, good

Can you not get an MCS certificate, then you can force charge your batteries. I’ve just sorted mine out and am exporting between 9am -3pm. Just started this week, averaging 10 kWh past 2 days.
Luckily the heating etc come on around 5 ish and normally top the DHW for 75 mins around 5.30, so some decent use during the baseline hours. Have to wait until SWMBO gets home from work though as she has the car linked to IO.
let’s face it last year was nuts having everything on for 3 hours just to get your use up.
I did turn everything up yesterday to use about 25 kWh, but last year I would have turned on fan heaters, ovens etc that did not need using

No, "no evidence of any large scale abuse" Obviously the highly energy-aware and financially-motivated people here and more widely amongst the population are a far smaller group than we might imagine.

Does anyone know if it is possible to find out what your target is for the Saving Session?

You can download all your smart meter data and work it out on a spreadsheet but surely its use as little as possible and export as much as possible if your on an export tariff.

Yeah but I'd like to know if I stand to make £1 or £10!
