Me too, I have probably more drives running than you do even with an 8 bay NAS and another whole bunch of drives connected!
My average usage per day is 16~ kWh, two of me using electric like I am I would consider extremely high usage.
If you have a smart meter have you dug into when and where it's used?
My base load is 400W or so with nothing special going on. Your average based load is above 1kW for the whole day.
I assume gas heating is separate? if not what is your split? I'm probably incorrectly assuming your £300 is all electric only.

Just turned off the heating, made sure the washing machine/tumble/dishwasher weren't on and delayed starting dinner. I have no idea how we managed to save so much to be honest...according to their email it was 3.75kWh. I guess maybe the recent cold weather means our heating usage has been a lot higher than it normally would be, factoring into their saving calculation?

Walmart sold ASDA to the Issa Brothers from EG Group a few years ago.
The Issa brothers are from Blackburn and the 2 of them have a 50% stake in ASDA along with TDR Capital who have the remaining 50%

Due to the way the algorithm works, if you use extra power in the -4h to -1h window of the session, it will count towards your returns.
Solar and Battery isn't necessary to use this, it just makes it easier because you can store the power, and also on-demand not use any in the session.
So it's rewarding load shifting to the timeframe a few hours ahead of the session.

Yes, you are
About £120/month is electricity. Sometimes a bit less. £100-120 for sure.

I have noticed the last few days my soliscloud app I use to monitor energy usage no longer has octopus agile prices on it. anyone else has the same issue?
Prices are falling pretty rapidly in the US, my utility company is dropping natural gas prices by 23% in a couple of days. I've noticed food is getting cheaper too - there are a lot more deals around and the ridiculous price increases have stopped.
I think in the UK we'll be getting rinsed for a while longer yet...

Rent inflation I see nothing to suggest it wont be here for years to come, mortgages dependent on interest rates going back down, which I think isnt likely until overall inflation goes below 5%.
