I can't get my usage down any lower than it already is so declined

You probably need to read the octopus saving sessions thread to realise it's not all about saving in the hour but what you shift before the saving session.

I can't change my usage. 95% overnight on E7 and fixed daytime usage from the fridge, freezer and pond pump, and the odd kettle boil only during the day.

It wouldn't be easy but you could still make from it if you wanted to.

Fridge freezer off for an hour, same for pond pump and boil your kettle outside the saving period.

Move some E7 tasks to the in day adjustment 3 hour window and that's your leccy paid for the day.

Not simple for such low users I appreciate.

Yeah, I normally charge my battery overnight.

but if I charge it up, or at least top it up, during the in day adjustment period it makes sure that I don’t run out of battery during the grid’s peak time. 

Plus as above, I get paid for doing so, which is worth more than the 40p/kWh I’m charged for peak rate usage.

I got this too. My electricity company is not participating but it still appears a spectacularly poor offer and I'm not going to join it.

I did sign up for this just to see what was involved.

My energy usage is always low at this time of the day but simply by timing dinner for 17:30 rather than our normal 18:00 I achieved a 47% reduction and won a £50 runner up prize.

I think that for me this a better scheme than others I have seen because, with my baseline usage being already so low, the amount that I would receive for any saving would otherwise have been a trivial figure.

Nice result and good to hear👍

I joined while waiting for EON Next to collect enough readings to eventually participate with them. I didn't win anything the first time, and withdrew my participation shortly after. Somehow, I've still won £50 for the most recent event. Odd, but I'm fine with that
