Yes, training on the correct number of previous days to use in the baseline calculation, and differentiation of weekdays and weekends springs to mind...

Another £4 from Octopus live event is always welcome even if we’ve just finished the last one. In theory we should still be expecting the 5 remaining tests in December too, so if the live ones keep up they’ll really have to start cramming them in towards the end of the year.

Won’t come close to reaching the heights of last year earning over 47000 Octopoints for one of the sessions but at this rate the rewards are looking a good bit higher than I initially expected.

Really annoying me that my export can not be tracked on the smart meter, Hugo are paying out 5.50 per kwh for reduce usage/export and I could easily export 8kwh in 90 mins if I were getting rewarded. Running the house off the V2H means I never use any peak leccy so no import savings are possible.

Has anyone received any bill credit from British Gas for the last 3 saving sessions? Nothing on my account despite turning everything off & going out for the full period.
