Not quite so easy at that time of day, I'm not up to be putting 2nd loads in the washer and it's a bit early to have the oven on.

I reckon National Grid have realised they have to pay out less to the energy companies for morning sessions.

Another session 9AM tomorrow so time to get that load on between 5 and 8

Its a stupid time to have it but i am setting timers for as many things as i can starting at 5am!

Oven was overdue a pyrolytic clean, so the GCH got a helping hand with warming the house before breakfast today, then we exported the entire session period so hoping for a decent saving despite not usually using much 9-10.

At around 9.45 am we were generating about 750watts but the iBoost diverter was being greedy and as a consequence was importing over 100 watts from the grid. Earlier in the session it had been ok. I ended up switching it off and just exporting. The CT clamp isn’t very accurate and I can’t adjust the threshold on mine.

No chance to join this session... a little more notice required.. I can probably live without the £0.001 i "may have saved"

Probably another 20 odd today half of which will be profit - based on most recent results though - it looks as if they may not be removing previous saving days from the on the day adjustment period calculation.  I think this was session 5 or 6 out of a max of 10?

At least 12 sessions i think...

Octopus say
“Saving Sessions will run from 1st November 2022 all the way to 31st March 2023. We know there'll be at least 12 Sessions, but there could be many more. “

I’ve taken part in 9 so far.

After the people that don't game it and only make 10-100p give up and the word gets out what will the real demand reduction be? The real gain will be in smart EV chargers moving load to off-peak mostly in the night.
