Can you clarify how the bidding works.
Are Octopus offering double what others are and being rejected for some unknown reason or are they asking to be paid double what others are and the cheaper bids are winning?

NESO open the bids and send out notifications to suppliers inviting them to bid. They then decide how much they want to pay and accept bids for up to that amount. It used to be that they said how much they expected , of course that stopped when NESO took over the old NSO role from NG.
Is where I get stuff from

Yes, basically Octopus offered electricity at £700/MWh but NESO said they were only prepared to pay up to £350MWh
Perhaps this was more of a speculative bid on Octopus' behalf. They don't normally do Saving Sessions on a Friday.
