Octopus Free Power Hours

[Thebeeman]

I’m sure if you’ve previously taken part then you are automatically enrolled for subsequent free sessions…..

It appears the MIL has only just got a Smart Meter so she could not have enrolled previously.

MiLs smart meter is only 11 days old so maybe she will be invited next time ?

Thanks

That's probably the reason, they have not joined the dots yet to see they can now get 30 minute readings. Worth having a push on her behalf now though to save her money and the grid paying for more stationary turbines.

She will have to look on her Octopus account and click on the Free Electricity Electric Eel if its showing.

Free power and not having to worry about having excess solar to deal with, currently 136W being generated!

Cheers Yuff, I've passed the good news on.

We are back up to a mighty 1.3kW generation now and counting down the minutes to blast off!

Aiming for an all time record, with Sunday dinner on, washing, tumble dryer, battery charging + electric shower (teenager) - hoping it doesn't trip the house fuse

Considering the fact I'm not deploying any resistive heating, and the PHEV is full, this isn't a bad effort (I think):

Must be brighter further east as still only 500W here

IOG cheapslot engaged for extra payback and 22kW+ coming in.
It has been shown by others in previous sessions that you get charged the cheap rate but you get the peak rate credit.

That is interesting. I always switch off smart charging during these "power hours" because I don't want the car charging at 7.4kW while Octopus are monitoring it.
