You currently get Octopoints from spinning the wheel every month.
And Saving Sessions (SS) will start from Wed 27th November, I expect the sign up to Octopus early next week.

Re: Octopus Free Power Hours
Bingo!
The problem with SS is that they reduce demand during times of high demand and low supply, this removes the opportunity for electricity-generating companies to profiteer. Therefore they were always going to be killed off IMO.
Without SS octopoints don't have much relevance.

Re: Octopus Free Power Hours
We are told that . . . Credits are shown on the "Octoplus Dashboard" ? . . . . which I associate with Octopoints (only).
I would expect to see the Credits appear in the "Bills & Payments" section.

I could understand the same info being presented in two places if there was more detailed calculation on the Octoplus page - but there isn't !

Re: Octopus Free Power Hours
I'm bouncing off the import limitations on the EV charger right now, but I have to say the Zappi has been gentle with me during the first use, in the dark with a storm trying to blow me over.

Re: Octopus Free Power Hours
Nothing like most here but managed 7.5kW steady for a while, car charging on type 1, house stack back to 100%, washing load done, HPTD running dehumidifier on and an oil filled radiator topping up the house to 22 degrees to soak the stone walls a bit as a storage effect. Been to MiLs and put her tumble dryer on, washer and charging her house stack too.
