Bright gave a heads up later night to be fair

The wife managed to get 3 days worth of dinners cooked and baked cookies with the kids during the hot period.

Well timed with national strike day.

Ha - no email from Octupus this time - sneaky ****s. Quick - the car needs charging and battery needs topping up.

I got an email at 16:18 and a push notification at a similar time. Unfortunately I missed this one, would have been a nice earner at £2.25 kwh!

Hawk Tuah · 15 Mar 2023 at 19:20

My email arrived at 18:29. :rolleyes:

Fortunately saw on here and signed up earlier.

£2.25 /kWh is the base value I think, always is that much

Looks like a session 1800-1900 tomorrow

john_smith · 20 Mar 2023 at 21:11

Looking for info in this. I’ll not charge my EV or water as much tonight if so.

They haven't finished calculating the last one. Not sure how they're going to fit another 3 in before the end of the month.

True but it doesn't prevent them doing more, the data can all be historically worked out.

Bright were right last time. Let’s see

Hawk Tuah · 20 Mar 2023 at 23:05

They said no saving session. Might be a 'spontaneous saving session' though. :rolleyes:

I'll keep my eye out tomorrow. Won't charge the battery overnight just incase.

HungryHippos · 20 Mar 2023 at 23:16

Solcast quite likes tomorrow so I may charge a bit less overnight just in case, but have to be careful as too much and it could bite me in the arse.

john_smith · 21 Mar 2023 at 06:06

I wasn’t brave enough to let things run down. Hopefully I’ve gambled right.

Session on Thursday 18:30-19:30, £3 per kWh saved this time.

SaBBz · 22 Mar 2023 at 19:14

Does anyone have their results from the last one yet?

Not yet.

Mercenary Keyboard Warrior · 22 Mar 2023 at 19:34

Hmm likely last one of the year and I am out at work
No washing or tumbling to be done, no need for heating

Don't think its going to be a big cash generator this one.

Need a little delve into solcast and decide on what battery to charge tonight.

john_smith · 22 Mar 2023 at 20:15

At least we had notice for this one. I’m going to be ready.

My kettles are all lined up and I have heaters next to every window so I can open then up and put the heating on! :cry:
