Octopus Power Ups and Free Energy Sessions

[Mercenary Keyboard Warrior]

Bugger just realised as i was messing about with my batteries due to change yesterday I forgot to switch the immersion on

Right lets turn the gas water heating off for tonight and play dumb

I've cut it close a couple of times. If the wife's shower goes cold then I'm done for

The first offence its easy to claim "technology"

 

[Mercenary Keyboard Warrior]

Surprised so few have taken advantage of this

Currently :
Charging my batteries, tumble is on, DW is on, water heater is on, washing machine is doing one of our infrequent hot washes whilst empty (recommended to avoid gunk forming with low temp normal washes)
Sucking in 12.1kw at the mo but that will drop as we go

Another today just in case anyone missed it.

Also
During the Power Ups on 12/09/23, 14/09/23, 15/09/23, 19/09/23, 20/09/23, 21/09/23 you’ve used 847% more electricity than usual. We’ll credit you a total of £26.25 for all of the electricity you used during this time.

£26.25 was about 65kwh for me on my old tariff, only just switched yesterday from 40p day units

Noob levels of extra usage!

Powerup tomorrow
Normal time, they were a little later sending out this time!

I missed it yesterday but there is another today (2-4)

Washing and tumbling engaged
Now if my new dishwasher that was supposed to be delivered yesterday (van broke down apparently) arrives by lunchtime I can also put that to use!

Weather is grim so batteries will be getting charged as well

 

[Mercenary Keyboard Warrior]

Interesting you have power ups while wind power is low.

Indeed and its certainly not sunny!

 

[Mercenary Keyboard Warrior]

Yep, it seems incredibly random.

Perhaps intent is to reduce load at 4-6pm, by having some people filling up their batteries during the lower demand period.

Could be I suppose.
I mean it would still help reduce some of the most expensive generation if we load shift to earlier

Sorry maybe my post was confusing
I missed the email yesterday (they tend to come in 24 hours before the session)

Normally I would pick up the email within a couple of hours and post that the session is tomorrow as opposed to my post above saying it was today!

Clear as mud?

 

[Mercenary Keyboard Warrior]

Tracker prices in the negatives tomorrow at 2pm, but no, no power up session tomorrow.

Seems so random.

Indeed.
Windy as hell here, the turbines must be wizzing around locally
It almost seems sessions are 24 hours behind when I expect there is high generation

 

[Mercenary Keyboard Warrior]

power up tomorrow!

 

[Mercenary Keyboard Warrior]

Another tomorrow 20th Oct

Later suits me better as I prefer full batts later in the day, but 3 hours is quite nice.

 

[Mercenary Keyboard Warrior]

Moar!
