I guess that IOF customers will (battery capacity permitting) have their batteries set to max charge by Octopus during the events. This would be consistent with IOF as a way for Octopus to build and control a distributed battery storage system.

... or they may not, as the hour is determined the day before and things can change making that hour less attractive, but either way there will be a small benefit for IOG/IOF customers regardless.

Just received an email. Looks likely pricing will be slightly negative then on Agile anyway.

Same - had plugged in about 1pm and it started smart charging at 2pm on the dot

It's quite hard to use much in an hour when it's warm inside.

I opted out, yesterday, because I'm better off being paid to use it, on Agile. Wasn't such a difficult decision to switch the solar off, what with there not being much sun today.

Is opting out necessary? I thought they'd previously said they wouldn't award negative "credit".

Does anyone use the streamlit app to check the results, and is it broken for you too?
