Octopus Saving Session

Octopus (and others) only find out about a session around 2.30 and I guess it's another hour or two till it's accepted.1

I only looked for it, after keeping my eye on this thread. It was rather late, considering the in day adjustment period was so early the next day.

Baseline average over the last 10 days between 9-10 was 2.1kwh.
Today's usage between 5-8am was 14kwh
During the 9-10am slot we used 0.7kwh
The payment from loop is £2.50/kwh1 -

Working out (assuming I remembered the details):
In day adjustment for 5-8am is extra 10kWh (14 - 4kWh), so 3.3kWh extra per hour.
Baseline for 9-10 would be 5.4kWh (normal 2.1kWh + 3.3kWh)
Saving 4.7kWh (5.4 - 0.7kWh)1 -

It couldn't be much less notice than this one as there is some human decision making to be done on the part of the power companies during the offer/accept phase between the grid and the power companies. unless they are all on call 24/7. Could they offer one first thing in a morning for a 5pm activiation? just about if all the ducks were in a row I think. Have to keep time for the in-day adjustment period and the buffer hour. Bound to be less uptake due to people not seeing it in time.0

I really do love Twitter, and the people moaning "Why do you only do it at 6pm or 9am" "Why do you only give me less than 1 day's notice" etc. It's not heard to Google and learn national grid pick the times, and its all sorted out and we are told in a matter of hours!!! Lol
