Octopus saving sessions

mmmmikey

Bids have been accepted - now we just need to wait for Octopus to notify us and allow us to register. In the past, it has been possible to register before the notification is received.

I'm curious - does anyone know why we have to specifically opt in to each session, since there is no apparent penalty for not saving any power, so there is nothing to lose on my side?  Shouldn't they have a blanket opt in option?  

To possibly answer my own question, maybe it's because these are tests and they want to know who is actually aware of it?

The point of the tests is to register changes in behaviour based on notifications and timescales, so if they remove that it would just become a generic change in usage patterns and cannot be guaranteed in a live use scenario.

Whoop whoop bring it on 17:30 here we come, due to strong sunshine already exporting

Take heart in that your last couple days of export is more than half of our entire January generation to date!

Well 'they' do say it's grim oop North! ;-)

Solar panel wise totally agree - although we have generated more than pvgis for the year so guess that’s something 🤣
