    £1.12 for yesterday's saving session. I'll try not to spend it all at once. 😁
    PPI success. Banding success. Double Dip PCN cancelled! South facing solar (Midlands) and battery. Savings Session supporter (is it worth it now!?)

    It's worth downloading the Octo-Aid app, the notification of the Savings Session came through much earlier than the official Octopus one.

    Does that app actually work then, I havent been notified for 5 (6 as last one I only got on due to MSE) sessions.  Only got on the last one, due to a kind post on MSE informing everyone, when I went to the app to opt in, the app didnt even know was a session until I forced closed it and relaunched it.

    Yeah, those are the "Power ups", only available in certain areas. The Octoplus mythical "free electricity" is a different beast

    I'm sure we're all looking forward to the Free electricity sessions, which perhaps will fill the void when Saving sessions take a summer break.

    Summer surplus sessions? 

    Guess the more solar that gets added, the more free electric on very sunny days?!
