Octopus saving sessions

Netexporter

Less than a fiver in Octopoints, for the whole campaign, but I am in the top 4% of savers.

Saved 51% in the last session and got 104 points for my effort.

That seems slightly odd, I missed the first four sessions of this winter as Octopus were still onboarding me, I do not have battery or solar to export so I just load shifted normal usage and I still earned £31.71. Although I know people who opted in and changed nothing I also know quite a few who were proactive, really surprised top 4% is so low.

I suspect the top 4% isn't about how much was earned but the percentage saved from baseline.

All those that turned off their consumer units would be top savers but not necessarily big earners as they don't use much energy during that time.

Oh dear 2 thumbs down for not saving out of the last 3.. But 30 mins is hard going when you hardly use anything.

Just over £3 for my last three sessions. It'll do. Thankfully it's mostly automated, just have to turn on some home assistant automations to charge and discharge at the right times.

I normally use next to nothing in the evening peak, being on Agile, so not much in the way of kWh to save. But at leat my percentage saving was acknowledged.

Hopefully I'll have a 30kWh battery and 8.8kW inverter installed by next winter, so I'll get my revenge then!

I didn't have much to turn off, but this season I've made a tenner plus a few pence. Last year I got fifteen pounds. This is MSE after all so I'm pleased with that.

I made over £67 this winter season. I decided to use the bonus rewards to opt out of the loyal customer fixed energy contract that I signed up for Sept 2023 and switch to Agile with the mindset that I can easily load shift, this my be a more beneficial solution for the environment and my pocket ( yes, I know it can go up to £1. kWh.) But, I have contingency plan if that happens.
I see Octopus have the stay tuned banner, I will join the next one just to see it through to the end. Anyone else think the National Grid will not continue with this next winter? I did smile when reading a document relating to this winter seasons rules where they call users participating in the DFS “Perverse” for gaming the sessions, strange word to use about people who have been struggling to heat their homes and put food in mouth.

Has anyone received any streak Bonuses for the last few sessions?
