Octopus saving sessions coming 1st Nov
Re: Octopus saving sessions coming 1st Nov
What's happened to the saving sessions, wasn't there suppose to be a certain amount of test sessions every month?
Re: Octopus saving sessions coming 1st Nov
There should be 3 test sessions left, nominally 3 tests per month Nov and Dec and 2 per month Jan to Mar. But they can be rolled over, one of Jan's was rolled over to early Feb.
So its either tomorrow or a roll over again.

Not a big one today only half an hour from 18:00 to 18:30
Low demand as well, likely low ball accepted prices

Re: Octopus saving sessions coming 1st Nov
Only 125MW volume, the lowest yet, the last one being 175MW for a half hour slot, likely going to have to bid sub £1 / kWh to be in it. I'm fairly certain contractually test sessions are supposed to be one hour but I'll check later.
My baselines not too bad at around 7kW for that slot but Octopus has got to be in it to win it.

Re: Octopus saving sessions coming 1st Nov
I've checked the contractual docs and cannot find a guarantee of 1 hour tests.
But in the open letter to industry it does highly suggest that the tests will be of one hour duration.

structured in two phases:"

Re: Octopus saving sessions coming 1st Nov
Octopus had the highest bid accepted at £1.20 / kWh, get in my beauty.
Whilst British Gas bombs out for the 3rd session running having been rejected at £1.25 / kWh, they really are hopeless.
The question is are we going to get a little saved up from previous surpluses from the Octopus.

"The question is are we going to get a little saved up from previous surpluses from the Octopus. "
They banked a fair bit during the first 8 sessions.
