Octopus Power Ups and Free Energy Sessions

Gaaaah. Absolute critters, completely got me this time.

Last power up was 9:30am to 11:30am. This one I've just noticed is 9:30pm to 11:30pm. Spent half an hour pulling 20amp before I double checked and noticed they'd done a switcheroo on the times.

I haven't had one for ages, I was starting to think i had fallen off the list or something
Last I had was 1st Nov!
 
hang on people are getting power up sessions today in some areas? we really need better connections across the country if so because i just checked the grid and we are at around 50% gas generation and only 30% renewables..

emissions are at 212g/KWh.

Your near me so maybe we havent had them.
I just signedup again via the website and had an email almost straight away for tomorrow morning.
Did you receive that?
 
i am already signed up i think, i just went to the website and could not see an option to sign up again. i have not heard anything yet.

I did notice on my account i am in the top 1% of green electricity users however........ so that was nice.... do i get a special badge? :D

just checked my postcode, seems i am not eligable... it is the saving sessions i am signed up for.

Ill cancel my overnight force charge and charge 7-9am instead so should get 10kWh in and save 60p at least. Annoyingly I charged the car last night so don't need to put it on again.
 
I've set my overnight charge to run from 3am to 5am and to a maximum of 45%, so by 7am I should be close 40% and should easily get 16kWh into the batteries. We're forecast for 9 kWh of solar tomorrow, so most of that will likely get exported, and there won't be much before 9am if anything.

@Welshman you need to update your signature.

Yeh, but whos up that early on a sunday to take advantage of it, unless you got EVs or Batteries that can be timed to charge.

I’ll be up for the F1 at 06:00 so will sit there wrapped up in my dressing gown with the central heating off until 07:00 when I’ll turn on a couple of 2kW fan heaters!
