Session tonight 6-7pm so 'switch on at 2 and off at 5'

Odd !   I've not had an email so checked the Octopus webpage but still couldn't see any reference to it.

Just done the same, no email or notification on Octopus page

It is an onboarding test for a few providers. 

There’s another test notification due at 1430, for tomorrow, maybe something to look forward to…

Another one tomorrow with Hugo 6:30 - 7:30PM - annoying as the car will be out in the afternoon.  Perhaps I should go up in the loft and switch on the tank immersions?

Today I also had to battle against pv generation in the adjustment window

Apparently the suggestion is that this year saving sessions won't have an in day adjustment anymore which means those of us with batteries are unlikely to be able to provide any support to the grid.

Given the data is available I can't see why they can't pay the same for additional exports as they do for reduced demand - lack of imagination by those who designed the scheme?

Not sure how disproportionately hammering import in the window before supported the grid, or at least that's what most people seemed to be doing!

You can still save the battery for the turn down event.

I think there has been mention they may pay additional export during the shut down event so force discharging would be useful.
