My brother saved 77% and was awarded 176 points.
My mum saved 13% and was awarded 24 points.
I saved 100% (of nothing) and was awarded 8 points. :xx:

They seem to be gearing up for the next one now the results are all in, which would not surprise me if its on Wednesday evening, going off the wind generation forecast and cold temperatures. But will my export MPAN have been live long enough to make a valid baseline. :geek:
