    Never used to have to do anything to qualify for a free power hour.

    Saving sessions used to pay more (I know that's down to the DNO)

    No coffee from Nero.

    Prices used to be keen.

    No account I suspect when my fix is over.

    I will join when they get one but it's not worth doing any thing special .

    No chance of me getting one, unless there is blazing sunshine when they have another saving session IOF maxes my export during 1600-1900. Of course they are don't always bid for DFS .

    Yet another gimmick. Fed up with them now. Just drop the price.

    I had four one hour options to choose from in the website.

    Decisions, decisions. I have 4 slots to choose from on Sunday - do I plump for one and risk wasting it on a negative Agile hour or save it til the middle of September (I'm away the next couple of Sundays …) when things may have stabilised and rates will be slightly more predictable?

    Deep seated hatred of Scottish Power and all who sail in her - would love to see Ofgem grow a pair and actually do something about it.

    I picked 11am to 12pm as our solar panels are facing west so this will be the least amount of interference from solar generation.
