Had the email but unsure what to do. Battery will likely be getting near to fully charged by then (dull morning forecast here) Water will be hot too. Could top up the car but using any extra juice will totally screw up my years old app records of usage!  Since getting a smart meter installed in early March we’ve used a grand total of 44kWh which I could potentially increase by 25%. 

Export the battery from 12-1, then import from 1 till 2. 

I possibly would but currently sorting getting an export MPAN whilst transferring FIT from OVO to Octopus (it’s been dragging on somewhat!)
Even then though we’re only talking about an hours worth, so around 3kWh

I’m really confused by the sign up process. Followed email link last night & completed the Google sign up form. Only acknowledgement was ‘Your response has been recorded’. 

Logged into account this morning expecting to see message that I’d already signed up, as per Savings Sessions, but no confirmation. Completed Google form again. Still no confirmation. 

I don’t want to shift all my ‘heavy’ usage if there’s no benefit. 

Did others get any acknowledgement?

My experience was the same as yours.

Not seen anything to indicate it’s OK to go ahead later (not planning on though anyway). I’d have expected something to say ‘fill your boots for an hour’

That google form is different to the one I filled in yesterday via Octopus account area. Which gave a screen confirmation of the times & you are in.
Yet account is still showing sign up.

Do Octopus have a glitch on their site?

I'll bung car on for a hour. Either way it's free or a few P that would have been required at some point. 🤷‍♀️

Yeah mine says sign up (on the website)

But I have a screen shot from yesterday saying "I'm in" - so if need be, I'll use that as proof!

No screenshot here as no message received. 

Was planning on a hot wash, dishwasher (not quite full), pile of ironing, vacuuming, charging lawnmower & cooking a pie for dinner. I’m exhausted just thinking about that lot in 60 mins & if I’m not going to save I won’t bother😊

I can't see how Agile users could benefit from this event. The rules state that free energy is determined by calculating usage during 1-2 pm for the last 10 days and subtracting the average from today's usage.

There were two days recently when Agile price was negative at these times. Anyone who took advantage of that would find their average consumption calculation for this event significantly skewed.

It's the average kWh, not what you paid for it, that counts. Similar to the winter saving sessions.

I've just received an email confirming I'm in (I signed up yesterday).
