Interesting. I'm on an E7 profile (but on Agile tariff) and no change here as yet. Though I'm already being paid more per kWh than it is costing me.Yarrows said:Dishwasher, 2 hot runs of the washing machine and accompanying dehumidifier laundry setting, thermostat to 21°, DHW on and a couple of showers, and a sterilisation/Legionnaires cycle (which I never normally run for various reasons but decided I might as well try to kill off any random bugs while it's free!).
At the moment my pending cashback, not including this morning's session, has gone up to over £8. It looks like they changed the unit rate applied to my cashback to my supplier's SVT E7 peak rate instead of the SVT single rate and recalculated the previous sessions at some point in the past week. That suggests that they have figured out I'm on a multi rate tariff (although E7 will be the only one they know about) so I would hope that people on E7 who stuck with it might now be showing the right amount of cashback?0 -

Uswitch can’t read my usage so are only giving me the average earnings during my 2 periods “calculated” so far. What a joke2

I reckon we used pretty much 4kWh yesterday so that will be another £1.xx to come back. Would have been better really if we’d been able to get the oven on too but MrEH will need that on to make rolls today (he was out yesterday) and there didn’t seem any sense using it both days.🎉 MORTGAGE FREE (First time!) 30/09/2016 🎉 And now we go again…New mortgage taken 01/09/23 🏡

masonic said:I think I'll be earning a little over £7 for this session, Fabric of the home warmed up to a tropical 21C from a chilly 10C first thing this morning, and a busy morning of batch cooking and laundry now completed. That should bring my total to £13, so no danger of overshooting next week.My results from Saturday are in already. Earned £8.10 for a £6.00 spend, taking my total up to £13.12.I was originally hopeful for a windy weekend and some really cheap prices to go out with a bang, but sadly it looks like this will now hit on Thursday and subside by the weekend.1

Opting for Sunday morning this week. I possibly should have waited until 4pm, but I think the picture is clear from N2EX and there isn't going to be a lot in it in terms of supply, but Sunday should have the lower mid-morning demand.0

I chose Sunday afternoon, forgetting that I'm going to be out of the house for part of it.Oh well, I'll do what I can!N. Hampshire, he/him.

Looks like I'll end up with £23.33 at a cost of £13.42, so just shy of a tenner in arbitrage.2
