I just checked and the last email notification was 2nd Feb, I think I found the next one and yesterday's by going to my account after seeing the alert here. But I don't see anything about today's anywhere. I don't do social media, or even whatsapp, but they did say somewhere "Opt in each time via your app or dashboard to take part in a Session and earn Octopoints."
The bids have not been released yet, probably within the next 10 mins or so, and Octopus might not even be in it, but I wonder if Octopus will still play even if rejected.

EDIT - Sorry 10 mins is too optimistic, going off yesterday we will know around 2.30pm who is in or out.

Yep, as we thought, also Axle Energy rejected amongst many others - lowest bid 40p and highest 75p per kWh

The only mainstream provider was EDF at the highest 75p / kWh accepted bid.

Octopus had bid 90p / kWh.

Octopus are still playing at £1.75 / kWh.

Opting in is now open. :twisted:

They want to keep that leadership. :)

Yep, around but only around £12
Just short of £20 for last night and I suspect a very similar amount for tonight's run. :xx:
