Saving Sessions / Demand reduction thread

Wow that's timed well. There's another Axel event at 0600-0700 tomorrow and then I have a happy hour later in the day to top up the battery for free.

I have 6-7 on top of 8-9 tonight also but no free energy hours tomorrow.

I did 4 hours when I joined EDF but I’m saving them for Jan.

Saving session tonight, 17:30-18:30 90 points

Is it worth using more energy around these times when there is no power down sessions so that when I do power down I’m rewarded more? Is that how it works? Last time I was rewarded 32 points and shifted 0.43kWh. Everything was off so not a lot more I could have done.

 

[b0rn2sk8]

In all honesty, it’s not worth going out of your way to engage with unless you have batteries which you would dump to the grid anyway.

It does seem a bit of a faff. I’m happy to participate in such things but sitting in the dark and doing nothing for an hour to be credited 4p does seems a bit pointless

 

[Ron-ski]

Its only worth doing for the free hour, and that really depends how much you can use in that hour. You only have to save a tiny bit to qualify.

Once upon a time we were getting pounds per kWh saved, and we did sit in the dark, it was worth it, now I get less in a year than I got in one session back then.

How times change, forgot about this contributing to happy hours so I’ll do a bit just not sat in the dark haha

I change nothing other than the discharge time on my timed based schedule and get something for nothing
