nothing to do with me....@The Angry Welshman did you rub off on him?
5:30-6:30
Still on 70% battery here but will be cooking later so I wont be trying anythign special for this one, not worth pre topping up the battery as the Go rates are 26p on import anyway.

Yeah, after losses i'd be looking at a gain of like 10p per unit. If the grid needs saving I want more than 10p

That would probably get him banned again rather than MKW

I've not received an email yet about todays session

Pass, my minimum is 60p/kWh I won't bother for less.
It's about sending a message.

Received the mail at 1550 for tonight's session between 1730 - 1830 on Octo. Team name is apparently LonOFF for the London region. Very droll.

24p, that's a bit tight.
I'll be sending out what I have left in the battery just a bit earlier than usual but nothing more. Might be worth a quid extra at best.

yup and i aint about to get banned anytime soon..... but dont know whats happened to MKW
It looks like I exported 2.6kwh despite having the battery discharging at full chat for ~40 mins or so. We were a bit late with dinner so were cooking the whole time it was on.
I could have gone a bit longer but given I was only making 17p+15p per unit, I don't want to risk any unnecessary peak time use later tonight. My baseline should be >0 again so I think I'll be at ~3kwh for the session.

Completely missed it, I didn't see the email and missed the replies on here and on another forum I follow.
Very good chance of one tomorrow, I'll have to be more on the ball, at least it was a low reward one today.

That is all your are going to get

Tomorrow will likely also be low reward.
Would encourage anyone who wants to see better rewards to opt out at these prices, but to each their own.

We exported around 3.5 kWh in the session today, but only because we had a full battery going into the evening so had spare power without importing. Personally, I don't think "opting out" will do anything to the pricing. They've been quite happy to reject every single bid in some saving sessions so far so they're quite happy for DFS to not actually save anything if they have other sources they can call on. It's only been when margin is tight that we've seen the better pricing.
I don't really think Octopus are managing their bidding properly either. In the two sessions Octopus ran prior to today, they saved ~109 MWh in session one (60 p/kWh offers to customers), and ~129 MWh in session two (72 p/kWh offered). So today where they bid 29.9p and offered 24 p/kWh to customers, how much did Octopus promise NESO they'd save? 271 MWh.
I'm not sure I get the logic that warrants promising a 271 MWh saving when the previous sessions at ~3x the price saved less than half that, but that's what they bid. This is relevant because if they deliver <50% of the promised saving they take a penalty, so Octopus won't even be paid the 29.9p/kWh for today anyway. I guess they'll still pay what was promised to us, but why promise such a high saving that they won't deliver?
