Thanks- but where do I find that (other than by trawling through 30 pages!!!)?Spoonie_Turtle said:
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).Jonathan987654321 said: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.0 -

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.
