Thanks :-)

ESO have only just confirmed the list of successful bidders, so Octopus are clearly on the ball (exactly as expected).

My baseline figure is 2.78kWh so assuming I use nothing between 17:00 ans 18:00 I'm in for another £6.26 today, taking my total up to just over £20 for minimal effort across 4 sessions and I know others have made much more.

And yet there are still people who don't want smart meters - there's nowt so queer as folk as the saying goes...

This is becoming a nice little earner, I hope they have a bunch more in January!

Will Octopus notify anyone before 17:00?!

Nothing come up for me yet on whatsapp and I've been charging the battery since 2.30 in anticipation. I was alerted by Octo-aid so I've sent them a couple of quid to say thanks. A very useful app.

I wonder if Octopus are being deliberately slow in sending out the WhatsApp message as part of the test, in order to find out what happens with last minute notification? I'm struggling to think of a reason they couldn't have sent the WhatsApp message at the same time they updated their systems to allow opt in - any ideas, anyone?

No official notifications as yet. Maybe Octopus want to impress someone with just how good their customers are? Obviously most of us who do manage to find out and opt in will be the sort of folks who make the most of SS and totally cut back or even export during the hour.

Octopus will be able to say something like - 95% of our customers who opted in cut their usage by at least 80%

But those of us who can export need to have something to export.  On a grotty day like today that has to be imported energy. Our panels have produced 0.2kwh today.
