@mickyduck55 Last October when I spoke to Octopus they said they didn't support FITS, so I've just left the generation fit with my current FITS provider.

Found this on their site so looks like we have a choice

I had an email this afternoon from Octopus asking whether I wanted to move just my FITS export to Octopus, or FITS Generation and export to Octopus, so yes you can most certainly move it all over to Octopus.

I think the people that are getting on to Flux Export quickly, are the ones that already exported via Octopus, it seems if you didn't it takes longer to change things over, they told me via Twitter it could be up to 6 to 8 weeks, but hopefully quicker.

It would be interesting to know how quickly Octopus pay the FIT after the generation numbers have been submitted.  Eon who I have been with since install in 2011 pay very promptly, usually in a few of days

That sounds much more realistic, as for example in my case - it was just a change from Outgoing Octopus 12M Fixed to Octopus Flux Export - it's just a change of export tariff rates, on the back office system at Octopus.

If you're not already exporting via Octopus there will understandably be a setting up / onboarding type delay, just as there would have been originally with the current export receiving supplier.

Just put in my application due to seeing the waiting lists!

My account has updated to show

'We're setting you up to join Octopus Flux. We need to book your smart meter exchange next.'

Not sure what that's all about, as I have a SMETS 2 meter.

Will drop them a message on twitter and see what they say.

I got that strange message for a while too. It didn't stay there for long.

When I try to sign up, it asks me for all sorts of details such as mpan, what technology do I have, enter your MCs details..
It asks me the same questions as if I'm not already exporting via octopus.
But I am an existing octopus outgoing customer.

Is this the same for everyone else, or you think I have some account specific gremlins?

Yes it's the same questions I got and assume everyone else 👍

Give them a ring, it seems they are happy to do it over the phone. Twitter works too.

Signed up last night, this morning had an email saying i'm ready to switch to Flux! Just need to accept the T&C's within the next 28 days.

How do you see the tariffs for export? I have gone on the octopus website and cant find them (only the import ones). Is this something you only see if you are a octopus customer and singed into your account? Or have I missed something obvious on their website?
