Mine's okay. I got my usual 16 points.

Your wish is my command QrizB 1800-1900 aALL ZONES 210/MWh … edit 75 points

Thank you 😁

If it's relevant to anyone remember there are only 5 Sundays left in this scheme so 10 more sessions are the max you can use if you are lucky enough to book 2 sessions each Sunday.

I can see that being important if you're taking part for the Happy Hours; 7.5p for each kWh saved isn't much of a reward. But if you're paid for export anyway then turning 12p/kWh into 19.5p/kWh is a bit of a bonus.

I imagine only ex Nero coffee drinkers will be lucky on the 1st.

THANK YOU for reminding me about the scratchcard; I "won" a Gregg's coffee!

Well I have thumbs down and do find it strange - my usage 18-19 is normally minimal so all I do during sessions is just make sure nothing pointless is on like kitchen lights and hope for the best but around that date session I used:

10/9 saved 0.21 UP - used 0.27

11/9 saved 0.21 OK - used 0.20

14/9 saved 0 DOWN - used 0.20

15/9 saved 0 DOWN - used 0.21

16/9 saved 0.20 UP - used 0.15

17/9 saved 0.24 UP - used 0.25kWh

I do have little solar and wonder if it managed to export few Wh that pushed the luvk my way, but who knows.

You're confused folks 14&15 thumbs down 16th thums up saved 0.49kWh

14/15 I exported 2.9 and 2.9 kWh 16th 2.8 kWh export so equivalent of .1 kWh less saved .

The baseline for all 3 days should be the same i.e. the 10 previous non session weekdays Does not compute.

Good point, although for those with a battery who can force export, the additional octopoints may make it worth emptying the battery and allowing it to refill from excess solar the following day rather than exporting that excess at SEG rates. All depends on your import/export rates.

similar situation here except my area didn’t qualify for 14/9 saving sesh. I’ve complained and they asked me to give them 2 weeks but they seem to think I’m complaining about the cashback from a happy hour as opposed to the saving session being calculated incorrectly.
