I've had the email and it's a non-starter for me as well (with maximum effort I could save around 5p).1

Still worth it for those with a battery to force discharge - should make £1.80ish0

I'm in. Battery is charging now - will store 3kWh @ 23.77p/kWh. Will then export it between 18:00 and 19:00 @ 24.96p/kWh, plus an extra 60p/kWh for the saving session. So should show a profit of £1.84 if I've done the sums correctly. ( Largely funded by Agile customers - thanks all, I promise to spend the money wisely

I see that something came through on WhatsApp and now the channel has been deleted. What's the point in doing that? Didn't see anything until it was too late to boost my batteries.

On X they say "If you haven't received an email invite this afternoon, go to the Octoplus tab in your online account and opt back in". I have just done exactly that and can confirm that it works.🎉 MORTGAGE FREE (First time!) 30/09/2016 🎉 And now we go again…New mortgage taken 01/09/23 🏡
