Re: Octopus Free Power Hours
Looks like I'm setting my alarm.
And try and game cheap IOG slots over that period for the x3.7 multiplier.
I note the email from Octopus is advising folk with IOG to use "Bump Charge" during this time.

Re: Octopus Free Power Hours
Excuse my ignorance but do you get octopoints for free power hours ?

Edit Nowty why are you setting an alarm for 7 am ? Surely EVERYONE in the country is already up and about by 6 am ? Well that’s what my kids think happens anyway

Re: Octopus Free Power Hours
No, you get charged the normal rate and then get an account credit a week or so later. But some of us have found that if you game a cheap slot, you get charged cheap rate but still get a peak rate credit.

Re: Octopus Free Power Hours
Got it saving session!
So given the recent demise of the sessions is it safe to assume octopoints will be earned via different routes or simply phased out ?

Re: Octopus Free Power Hours
I have done all that I can in advance, which is not a lot: cut back my normal Flux battery charge, set an extra one for 7am (up to 100%) and set the alarm for 7 am so I can switch the immersion on. Maybe I'll run a fan heater downstairs and boil a kettle too to pre-heat the house for us!
(and my octopoints trickle in from sending meter readings.)
