How come they are offering me 1400points/kWh worth £1.75?

They banked a fair bit during the first 8 sessions.
Ah I didn't understand the implication of your enigmatic last line, now I do but does it make much sense to hand out what would otherwise be profit?

Maybe, but Octopus like to stay on the leader board.

Was this what you were looking for previously about their rules:

"From January 2024 to the end of March 2024 the ESO will look to run a further six tests. If the forecast volume of participation in the service exceeds 1.25GW at this stage, these tests will be competitively tendered, without the use of a GAP.

DFS tests will last for one hour."

Found on another forum post, so the half hour broke that rule
