Octopus Saving Session

Lorian

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.

Why are Octopus giving so little warning about saving sessions ?

I missed this mornings session - didn't tick the box -  because I only received an email at 20 to 7 last night  !

Could it be that they are not really interested in "saving energy" - and dont really want everyone switching off - just in IMAGE ?

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.

Ok perhaps someone can work this out for me

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/kwh

What is your normal usage between 5 and 8am, as that is used as part of the in day adjustment?

Average of 4kwh over the past 10 days

By my rough maths, £10 - £12 .

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)

When a real saving session is required, which these are the tests for, there may not be a lot of notice given.

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.

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

Well that would be superb I will let you know what the actual amount is👍

Treat my numbers with caution 😁, I probably forgot the divide by 10!
