Octopus saving sessions coming 1st Nov

[Joeboy]

I was in Edinburgh and somehow managed 560 's! Nice to be part of it.

My Octoplus results have just come in for the 16/11/23 saving session.

2.81 kWh saved (exported) at £2.25/kWh, 5064 points, equates to £6.33 credit.

Used @nowty calculation method, so historical import/export was basically 0 kWh, and I forced an export of 2.81 kWh across the 2 half hour periods.

Almost same here, 4424 points by force exporting for the first time
I'm already at pretty much zero import during that timeslot due to being on Flux tariff, with peak rate from 4-7pm

Would have thought there must be a reasonable chance of some saving sessions over the next 10 days

Windy though.

Yes windy, just been looking at the possibilities, no obvious slots, but if there has to be 1 more session in the remaining days of November then Tues or Wed would be my guess.

They might even spring a short notice one on knowing they wont have so many takers to pay out.

I looked back at some of the official docs and its "reasonable endeavours" to run 6 tests by the end of Dec at the guaranteed rate of £3 / kWh and another 6 during the remaining time which could be competitive tender depending on the volumes required. If less than 6 tests are run by the end of Dec 23, they will be carried forward and not be competitive tender.

So its 5 weeks till year end, maybe one a week.

Mine's "Still calculating". So I expect that means my savings are so miniscule as to be almost impossible for the system to parse the numbers!
I wonder at what point the cost of the cloud computational time/energy to calculate my savings outweigh the actual savings I may, or may not, have made?!

Mine is still calculating (pre export enabled ), hoping for the 8 points rounding error. But both my brother and mother should have saved something more tangible and theirs are still calculating too.

I have just got the results in

I saved a massive 100Whs. That is not a mistype, it's 0.1 kWhs.

I can beat that - 0.05kWh, 88 Octopoints, worth 11p
