Octopus saving sessions coming 1st Nov

All bids today have been rejected.

Even the lowest at £180 !!!

Personally I hope the power goes out.

let me guess, they'll pay 10 million quid for some open cycle gas power stations to spool up instead.

Todays peak time De-rated Margin is over over 5GW, so very unlikely to need any emergency reserve power.
Tomorrow its currently forecast at just over 2GW so more chance of having one.

Even I was surprised when they didn't allocate all the battery storage. It's not as tight as they made it!

Not sure if it’s accessible without a paywall, but a similar article to the guardian earlier this week.
There is a solution but they don’t seem to want to use it.
It is so annoying

That's a decent article (except for the hydrogen bit at the end lol)
