    9p for me for 2.5kW of free (refunded) electricity. Good job it was a wet day, otherwise we would have lost 37p of solar export to gain that 9p refund.

    Our green credentials: 12kW Samsung ASHP for heating, 7.2kWp Solar (South facing), Tesla Powerwall 3 (13.5kWh), Net exporter

    Base line of 0.22kWh. Actual use, 0.13kW, so get nothing :/
    Any language construct that forces such insanity in this case should be abandoned without regrets. –

    Treasure the moments that you have. Savour them for as long as you can for they will never come back again.

    "Based on your meter data from the previous few weeks, you normally use 0.16kWh at this time
    That means you used 0.33kWh extra electricity during the session"
    So running the washing machine gained 7p

    Signed up this morning (kept screenshot) but it’s still showing join now rather than stay tuned for the next session or anything like that.

    I remember the saving sessions being a lot easier than this.

    It should be fine. Mine still shows "sign up now" but I got the email today from the first session so I'm fairly certain I'm in.
