Demand Flexibility Service 2023 (and beyond!)

All sounds good but wait for the it only benefits the rich statement. Can't complain we did well out of the last DFS scheme and will probably take part just for the fun of it not the reward this time round we love a roaring log burner and running things off our little power station....or popping downt pub

I am hoping to benefit from the DFS through increased battery exports to the grid this year - app provider Hugo are hoping to support this.  However I am struggling to be show half hourly export data from my smart meter is available.  n3nrgy only downloads import data and won't accept my export mpan (obtained from UK Power networks).  I was previously on a trial with ovo on they paid me a SEG type payment based on export data for the smets 1 smart meter they installed.  I am now with EDF who installed a smets 2 smart meter but they say remote access to half hourly export data is not available (at least through them).

I cold potentially export 10kwh during a 2 hour DFS event so if there were 10 in the year at £3 per kwh this would make a tasty £300

Does anyone have any insight?

I responded to the email Hugo sent a week ago, inviting you to message them via their app to check if they can see your export MPAN.  As yet, I have had no reply.

Anyone else?

My battery is only 4.2kWh usable and I need some of that for cooking our tea - but I would happily give them 3kWh at £3 a go, and then run the house for the evening at 30.25p/kWh until the next Octopus Go cheap rate.  And that genuinely would be helping the grid.

I heard back within 24 hours with a link to try their new website 'app' (which looks good and has integration for EVs, PV etc) and also an option to display export - which is unfortunately blank for me.

Octo Plus ( Points) invites seemingly being rolled out to smart meter customers to encourage customers to sign up to savings sessions via Octopus than elsewhere, noticed by chance invite on my dashboard today.

500 points worth 62.5p credit for signing up.

Seems guaranteed Octo Points for spinning monthly wheel + a few other Octo Points benefits

Yes, I noticed a new Octoplus tab on my app this afternoon and signed up. All looks very familiar having done the Savings Sessions last year.

Thanks, just signed up.

I did see this graphic:

I'm not sure whether to be surprised, or not!

Seems Octopus has more smart customers than other suppliers, only talking about meters of course

Interesting info on saving session workings from Octopus in the t&c's - average consumption for the same period(s) of up to 60 days of your recent smart meter history: -
