Octopus saving sessions coming 1st Nov

[nowty]

Feels like all these savings slots are designed to feel out the bite point that the suppliers will be happy to contribute at - surely though the key parameter is the minimum price that the gas generators can operate at ?

Yes I personally would have bid low today because of the strong wind coming, these companies don't seem to use much intelligence. Yesterday was their opportunity as there was a capacity market notice out, although it was later cancelled. All bids were accepted yesterday.

Next window of opportunity looks to be in about a weeks time, wind will be howling out there until then.

Let's hope Octopus know what they're doing!

I personally would gleefully take 25p/kWh, sure the £2.50 we used to get was wonderful, but that sort of thing cannot last while there is a company with a diesel generator who'll do it for cheaper...

Looks like Octopus have thrown in the towel and are now on their way back in, I'm hoping for 1 or 2 sessions next week around the 11th Dec.

What do we think about a PowerHour in the meantime?

Storm Darragh coming at the weekend when the demand is lower, maybe another Sunday morning.
All the Offshore will be maxed out then.

Also has anyone else received a message regards phishing when trying to upload a photo to post images today - just wondering if we've been hacked ?

There's now a Met Office Red alert out for Saturday, 90+ mph gusts forecast now.

Red alerts are really rare and this is the largest area of red I have ever seen.
