Octopus Saving Session

razord

I got my IDA up to 3.6535 kWh today. Meaning I should be paid £35.41 if I turn off for the whole 2 hours (which I will!)

Very interestingly noticed that National Grid under-predicted demand by a much greater amount than usual between 1pm and 4pm today - I wonder what could have caused that.

Do you have a link to those stats handy?

https://www.bmreports.com/bmrs/?q=eds/main - the System Demand chart.



The gap starts a little earlier in the day than 1pm, but it's wider than usual - and closes rapidly after 4pm.

My house has just entered 'grey mode'.

  Mine too - one light, one already charged phone, one can of ale. Tum te tum. 
Anyone up for a game of Murder in the Dark?

Lol. I’m in full on Scrooge mode, pouring over my phone by candlelight. Tea light actually😊. OH is in another room watching TV & has a light on😠. 

I put CH on earlier so hopefully house won’t cool down too much over the 2 hours. Also planning a cold evening meal. 

All an experiment really but I feel for those who have to take such action out of necessity v

Batteries set to export a little after slamming everything from 1-3pm! Let’s see how this one pans out 🤔

First time I've joined the saving session, all is off except for 6w spotlight for the dogs (though fridge/freezer might kick in, have not yet figured out how to disconnect them as they are integrated). We're out in the warm car on the way to get some groceries

Edit: I need to read up on it some, not sure about how "adjustment hours" work, we've been out 11-4pm today and everything was off in the house. Does that mean I won't get paid much

Hmmm. Some might say that’s cheating😂

At most you might get next to nothing .....
