    Oh, that's odd.

    When I log in and go to the Sunday Saver page, all I see is this:

    On the basis I don't seem to be able to take part in Sunday Saver this month was how I concluded I am best to time-shift load into the peak period to get the best chance of the maximum improvement next time I am in.

    Well, this as very much the law of unintended consequences.

    For whatever reason, EDF determined that I was not eligible for February's Sunday Saver but I was allowed to sign up for March and my February consumption would be used to set the baseline and targets for March.

    So, I load-shifted as much as I could into the triad period 4 pm to 7pm and now have the first week of March from a start point of 43% and target 21.5% to achieve the maximum hours of free electricity.

    Rather similar to Grumpy - EDF telling me I am not qualified for February but reminder messages for a couple of Sundays with 8 hours credit each time to be credited mid March.

    Never pay on an estimated bill. Always read and understand your bill

    For anyone who likes stats (like me) I thought I'd share my savings through Sunday Saver now that I've left EDF for the time being.

    I qualified for 37 Sunday Savers (though some were specials like Christmas Day, Valentine's Day and the Wimbledon finals). They collected no data for one of those days so I was only credited for 36 days which amounted to 292 hours.

    I calculated they should have credited me £83.01 but they actually credited me £84.89 which averages 29.07p per hour.
