    £13.12 for the 29th. Happy with that.
    Mines just arrived for 29th, a mere £1.50. Out of curiosity, how on earth did you earn £13.12? 🤔

    £13.09 with a bit of export for me.
    Barnsley, South Yorkshire
    Solar PV 5.25kWp SW facing (14 x 375) Lux 3.6kw hybrid inverter installed Mar 22 and 9.6kw Pylontech battery 
    Daikin 8kW ASHP installed Jan 25
    Octopus Cosy/Fixed Outgoing 
  • Made about £19 exporting. Even more expected from the session after. 

    Nice little bonus
  • I don’t trust the data they’re providing. The last couple of sessions last year and both sessions this year they give 0 savings for me. Sure we don’t tend to use a lot of electricity at the savings times on other days but I’ve definitely switched off appliances that would normally be on and using electricity but still get 0. I don’t think the scheme is worth the effort.
    If you use the API link it gives what that thinks is your baseline and a breakdown for each of the half-hours for each session.  Maybe it'll show you what's going on (for this winter anyway).
    Thanks- but where do I find that (other than by trawling through 30 pages!!!)?

    I only got 15p worth the first one, before I'd worked out to export from our batteries, but at least they give them. I saw a posting about the EON Next version where they only pay if you save a minimum on 20% of your normal usage.
