Octopus saving sessions coming 1st Nov
Re: Octopus saving sessions coming 1st Nov
Its on !
5pm to 6pm tonight, probably be standard terms of £2.25 kWh from the Octopus.
Watch out for the opting in as it might open very close to the actual session, I'm sure someone will prompt on this thread.
At home with a full battery and solar diverter disabled, game on.

The maximum demand reduction volume during this period is expected to be 400 MW.
This will be System Tagged.

Re: Octopus saving sessions coming 1st Nov
Octopus have me set up for being paid for export as of today.
I'm guessing I shouldn't export during today's SS though 'cos they won't have enough data?

Re: Octopus saving sessions coming 1st Nov
I am fairly sure you need at least 5 working days of export data to get the big booty, but you might as well have a go as you have nothing to lose, you still get the 15p / kWh because your export tariff is live.

100% its 17:00 to 18:00, I've even checked the National Grid DFS Utilisation Report.
