Saving Sessions / Demand reduction thread

[reef]

Tonight's session appears to be only Zones 8-12. Nothing come through here.

 

[tamzzy]

yeah nothing in west mids either (region 6)

 

[b0rn2sk8]

We’re on in the east although it’s blowing pretty hard so I expect if I plug the car in, I’ll get OI slots again…

Octopus saving session from 6-7pm in zones 3-12 tonight.

Has anyone had a response from Octopus about their missing participation?

They told me it would be forwarded to their Octoplus Team for investigation....

Whilst the points are pitiful, it's the contribution towards the free hours electric that makes it worthwhile. But if Octopus aren't counting this type anymore, it's not worth taking part.

 

[shroomz]

I kind of like the free hours, last time I used one I scheduled my beer brewing around it and managed most of the boiling stage for free.

It is being investigated (they've asked for info on the Octopus forums), as I mentioned before it's broken quite a few apps as well.

[Ron-ski]

I switched mine back this morning so obviously you guys have me to thank for tonights session

 

[tamzzy]

thank you MKW!
Though I'm switching to EDF on Thursday to fix for 18 months. It will work out cheaper than the current IOG rates, not to mention whatever horrors they decide to do from next month

The silence is deafening on that one. It's definitely going up lots. The VAT cut kicks in on 1st October, so it'll go up by at least enough to eat that up, plus a bit more.

Octopus Go fixed is 10p/kWh off peak now I notice...

i'd expect variable IOG to be 8-9p/kwh without VAT
basically all these energy companies have swallowed the 3.5p green levy cut and 5% VAT cut from their variable tariffs to boost their profits
the peeps who took out fixes and are the ones actually benefitting from the cuts, once come off their fixes they'll also start to feel the heat (or more accurately, the cold... )

My older ghost has transformed into an angel, zero octopoints into 392

 

[jackboy]

I still have a ghost and 4 calculating plus no numbers against my happy weekend sessions.

My guess is they have had to do some work on the way they calculate stuff

 

[Mercenary Keyboard Warrior]

Yes one ghost and 4 still to calculate is same as me.
My suspicion is they messed up the extract time so those of us who export saw no data in effect.

Anyway looks like the correction will be correct and its just time and patience needed.

This is what I was told via email.

A small team is actively working on correcting it. It appears to be related to a DCC communication problem, which is affecting the data transmission.

We're guessing that the DCC calculates the baseline and saved amounts, and sends that to Octopus.

15th has now changed from a ghost to an angel as well
