Octopus (and eon.next) and lots of others have responded and are taking part.

How do you find out who have responded to take part?

Notice just issued for live event 5pm to 6pm tomorrow 

 Wonder if this will be worth more than £2.25 per kWh saved?

EDF and Octopus have had £6 kWh bids accepted

Lots of coverage in the press today.

Could be because today is "real" and not a test.

Eon offered me 57p for a 20% reduction in usage - not really worth the effort.  I got £2 or £3 in the first tests.

That is odd being as Eon Next are on record as stating its customer savings based on £3 per kWh which was maximum payment they were being paid at that time

I'm curious if the fact that this is "real" and not a test will impact on people's willing to "game" the system. Will you be maxing out the in day adjustment period in the same way as if it were a test?
