    Omg it's Tuesday today! Thanks

    I wonder if the late notice is because it's a test and they are trying to limit the uptake....

    Well that does not agree with the wording you get when you opt in! I hope they have just made a typo and meant target reduction...



    If it is and 80% reduction required it will be problematic 

    I see the wording has changed slightly now, if not the graphic...

    They're even more vague about what it's based on too!

    I think that wording is at least going in the right direction. We'll not the event window part!

    For the previous three events I have calculated my base from the previous ten weekdays, excluding event days.

    The percentages reported back to me are pretty much spot on.

    29/11, 71% reduction, £2.10 refund
    01/12, 34% reduction, £0.93 refund
    05/12, 14% increase, oopsie!
    12/12, 32% reduction, expecting about £0.90

    They are appalling 
  • I was half way through the latest saving session before I even read the email inviting me to sign-up for it.  Is this short notice common to all participating companies or is Eon Next particularly slow with their notifications?

    Seems to be all, it's difficult to get the message out on all mediums when the National Grid ESO announce it on the day mid morning.

    I've signed up for the ESO dataset again, anyone can. It will give you a bit more notice as you will get the pre-warnings to the Energy companies that there may be a session, and when they state there will be a session and ask them to bid. Should give some more notice.

    It will be the 23/24 dataset the other two are from last year.

    Looking at yesterday's session it would have given us a clue about 1am it was going to happen
