Octopus saving sessions coming 1st Nov

[Stinsy]

Are we to assume that future SS won’t be 1630-1830 on a weekday?

I’m really disappointed at how reluctant they are to use SS for real when conditions are right. We’ve literally had one single-solitary real SS.

I'm assuming the opposite, as In-Day sessions are very unlikely to be for the morning peak, so more likely to be for the 1630-1830 peak on a weekday. I think the different scenarios is more to do with how much notice you get for the In-Day session or whether its a staggered session (different timeslots for different participants).

Might be time to change to the power-up sessions instead if there is nothing much more to do. You can't be enrolled in power ups and saving sessions at the same time. Scotland is only half price Power-ups unlike the east of England which is £0 per kWh. Seems odd to me given how much we produce up here.

There will still be 5 test sessions between now and end of March.

Will tomorrows wind generation be low enough for a session.
Normally I would say no, but we are running out of January with only a single test session so far.

I'm not sure I will bother with another session (unless for the minute chance of a bonus ) as I've not been credited for my export on the last 2 sessions. Octopus say they haven't got my export readings despite it showing on the dashboard, I've emailed them screenshots and am awaiting a reply.

Now showing a non zero (albeit very low) probability of loss of generating capacity tomorrow peaking at 6pm.
A 5pm to 6pm Saving Session slot would be optimal.

We normally know by 9am if it is on…

Maybe the staff don't come in early enough on a Monday.
Another bite of the cherry tomorrow 30th Jan, less need but still in the zone for a test session and last plausible day in Jan.
Wednesday 31st the wind is honking so I think we can rule that day out.

Now that I have a smart meter and am signed up for Octopoints I noticed this on their page

Yet another social-media type bribe - i.e. freebie for those on the inside? It reinforces my annoyance about the extent of "digital exclusion"
