The agile import prices are now available for tomorrow (sunday), looks far too pricy for a power hour, ranges from 6p to 16p / kWh between 7am and 9am.

We’ve got 20GW of wind on the grid but the cost is still over £100/MWh - what’s going on?

Its peak period, its always expensive at this time, 6GW+ of gas generation currently so the gas price sets the price.

Agile import is around 30p / kWh now.

Windy now, but we are in for a leccy famine for a few days, thats one of the worst forecast's I've ever seen.
Working day demand, low wind, half our Nukes still out and a cold Europe.

Could be 3 daily sessions back to back from 11th to the 13th, just hope Octopus are fully onboard with the DFS by then.

Another 3 hour live event today but Octopus are still not on the list :facepalm: , that suggests to me there will live sessions every working day this week. :shock:

I am wondering if the new government net zero targets is really putting pressure on NESO to reduce the gas generation.

EDIT - Octopus are now on the official list of providers, but are not included in todays notification spreadsheet.

EDIT EDIT - Octopus ARE in todays notification spreadsheet.

Sorry, Octopus ARE on todays spreadsheet, I just did not scroll far enough to the right. :facepalm:

Here's hoping and if they get their bid accepted, I'll have to do some intermediate charging mid afternoon.

The slot is scheduled for 4pm to 7pm tonight. :xx:

Keep eye's peeled on here for the update on the bidding.

Everyone was rejected except one provider Hildebrand who only bid between 9p to 15p / kWh. Octopus bid one of the highest at 60p / kWh, I suspect they are still protesting or were simply not ready to run one today.

Octopus were pioneers of all this. It is a sad state of affairs that they're now unwilling to partake!
