I saw that it said that everyone who opts in will have their points rounded up to 100 points if you earned less than that in the session.

Also places you into the £1,111 session prize draw. 8-)

Last time we reduced by 92% which equated to 0.32kWh & 576 points. I'm just doing it for the craick. I might switch off stack and hybrid inverter this evening and see if we hit 100%. Can be the first shutdown trial & reboot with WT driven 12V emergency lighting. :D

Does anyone use the OctoAid app?
It gives me my estimated baseline for the savings session, currently shows 4256 Wh
I need to work on getting that higher, plus I’m aiming to export 2 kWh for the session.
Is it just working days used for the baseline, or does it include weekends?

If the session is a weekday, then yes its the last 10 working days (no weekend days).

If the session is on a weekend, then the baseline is the last 4 weekend days. But less chance to have one on a weekend as the demand is usually less.

EDIT - Any previous saving session days are also excluded from the baseline.

The helpful Octopus offered me cheap power this morning, in order to get it back at 5pm and make a £1.33 / kWh markup on my saving session export. :whako:
