even if you don't usually import so your baseline is zero, by signing up you get octopoints for being in, plus credit for what you export.

p.s. I have just looked at my Octopus account and seen the invitation to join in, I think that previously you were automatically enrolled in subsequent ones so I would have missed that as I'm out for the afternoon.

Just checked my baseline, I'm just over 8 kWh for the 16:30 to 17:30 slot, unfortunately I lost a bit by exporting at the wrong time. :facepalm:

56p / kWh is what Octopus are actually paying on the Opt In.
I can get over 8kW export, so with the additional 15p / kWh export element I make that a potential £11 or £12.

Thats about a week's worth of sub zero winter net energy bill paid for. :xx:
18.7kW PV > 109MWh generated
Ripple 6.6kW Wind + 4.5kW PV > 30MWh generated
6 Other RE Coop's
105kWh EV storage
60kWh Home battery storage
40kWh Thermal storage
GSHP + A2A HP's
Rain water use > 520 m3

No, but I'll take a look, I missed yesterday's. Thanks for posting.

Opted in and set my schedule, baseline will be pretty much zero.
