Opted in, I probably cannot save much with the short window and when it is, but to be safe I will go to the pub at half five and not get back until midnight!

Not exactly a moneysaving solution!

Not entirely, but beer has it's own budget line and actual was well below budget in both Jan and Feb so no harm in having a few tonight.

Remember when doing your budgets, beer is a revenue expense, not a capital expense.

You only rent the beer. 😁

And there is a disposal cost once you're done with with the beer.

Hmm, didn't get off to the best start. Forgot until just now, so savings will be limited to about 0.1 kWh, but I had a low baseline (0.25 kWh) anyway.

Same here. The only benefit I'm getting from these 30 minute sessions are the 'Streak Bonus' points. None of which have arrived yet.... 

Still, I enjoyed my free Greggs coffee this morning.

It's quite a party season time of year for us so a bit hit and miss over these three and things going on 

Opted in for the chance of £1000 and the streak bonus like others it seems

I m new to these saving session .first one was £1.50 but last one was just 23 p .base line down to just 0.10 watts and switched off at consumer unit from for the 30 mins..I m realising now that this game is not aimed at low users so I prob won t play any more .How is the baseline worked out because mines gone right down

The baseline is based on the average consumption in each relevant half hour window...

For weekday sessions, the last 10 weekdays with data available (excluding days of prior sessions)

For weekend sessions, the last 4 weekend days with data available (excluding days of prior sessions)

If you don't export, then the savings are limited to this baseline and are baseline minus consumption during the session for each half hour.

Weekday sessions are much better for me because my day's usage is compressed into the early morning and evening, whereas on weekends it is usually spread throughout the day. Just 14p this time unfortunately, but I'll get the bonus points and be entered into the prize draw.

I ve had three savings sessions at same time last three days  and used zero watts so that would have lowered my average use at that time ..It's lower anyway because I moved to Agile and now avoid the 4 pm to 7 pm period ..That explains the low baseline ,thanks

I think saving sessions are excluded when working out the baseline

Correct. They're excluded. 


Also to the point above re not taking part, even if you don't earn much money, every little bit of energy saving helps - it all adds up overall if everyone does similar. 

Not so important during tests, but very useful during live events when it's saved energy or use dirty fuels. 😀
