Cripes Ive got a power up from 3-5 today, so hopefully the SS if it happens is say 5:30-6:30 trying to flip from use as much as possible to dont use anything mode with no gap is a pain

It does seem a little crazy.
Giving away free electricity in one region, whilst at the same time, happy to pay the DFS nationwide.

@Mercenary Keyboard Warrior lucky you.
You need a nice scheduling system like me
My system takes just under a minute to ramp right up or down, so just have to allow for that.

Its excess capacity they cannot get out of some generation areas.
Grid needs upgrades basically.

Last time was my own fault, trying to have the free generation on to last minute with 4kw of fan heaters.
Today if SS happens will just drop the fans a bit earlier. Its not so cold anyway.

Opted in a while ago and dad is seriously testing my patience, I don't know how my family do it but they pick the worst times to do everything. Battery charged so he fires up his laser cutter (800-1500w idle/working) and washing machine has gone on on top of 5-600w house load depending on if fridge freezer kicks on.
