    Octopus rejected at 150/MWh, only bid for 1800-1900, didn’t bid for the rest , I wouldn’t go for 1800~1900 anyway, but would for 1930-2300.

    I got 2p in Octopoints for each of the last two sessions. That should get me about a dram of beer at my local.  :)

    I don't see a price either. Opted in but won't be taking any action as I have little to save. I'm opted out of the cdo alerts now so there won't be any early heads up from me ths year.
