Saving Sessions / Demand reduction thread

[Mercenary Keyboard Warrior]

Gas and wind are both 34%, we are buying 1.4gw from Norway but selling 0.4 to the Netherlands, 0.7 to Ireland, 0.7 to Denmark and 0.1 to Belgium during a savings session....

Edit: France is at 0.6 which is basically off for that interconnect. Normally we would be buying at 4gw

Edit: this is a better dashboard with more detail: https://www.ukgridlive.co.uk/

Yeah as I said above demand was high in Europe due to the heat so instead of importing we were exporting, good its how its supposed to work

The French were having ( may still be) a lot of issues with their nuclear and heat of the local rivers so they were turning them down.
Oh that ultra reliable base that people like to quote with nuclear
Last year they had issues with the sea water warming and attracting lots of jelly fish which then block the intakes of their coastal nukes. At least one nuke had to be taken offline to sort that out

Axle event tonight and tomorrow morning 6-7am. They seem fairly regular and for £1 per unit.

[jackboy]

I got it but will not be joining

 

[b0rn2sk8]

I’m in also

 

[Ron-ski]

I'm in, only half an hour but might as well have the extra pennies.

Ended up having a late dinner, so oven on, microwave on, kettle on, hob on, oh, and the heat pump did a hot water run

Edit:

Baseline 2.01 kWH
Exported 2.34 kWh
Additional: 0.33 kWh

A whole 4p extra

 

[tamzzy]

i can't argue with an extra 20p towards the ROI
something something look after pennies etc

 

[Mercenary Keyboard Warrior]

All helps

 

[b0rn2sk8]

I only did 2.6, baseline was -1.7 apparently.

 

[Mercenary Keyboard Warrior]

7-8pm today

109 octopints per

 

[b0rn2sk8]

Exported 7.4, nice.

I just plugged the car in, and I got an immediate OI slot. Make sense of that...

20 mins of battery charging to discharge again later

I missed the email, never mind.

I never seem to get evening slots before 10pm now. Without fail it's usually 22:00-05:30 whenever I plug in.

Managed to send out 9.63kW with a baseline of -0.77kW so should be good for about £1.20.
