Eeeeekkk! Last minute #SavingSession at 18:30 tonight!!!

Disproportionately annoyed that having only used 220Wh in the last #OctopusEnergy #savingsession — which should have netted me about £3 vs usual use — I find that I had failed to opt in!

Insert string of grawlixes (British English "grawlices" probably) here...

Just remembered the #SavingSession today - I'm away but I set the ASHP timer to turn off the heating for the hour. I wonder if husband noticed...

We told you how much the 23rd Jan #SavingSession mattered and look what you’ve all achieved. So many awesome Octopus customers - a whopping 400,000 of you - opted in and the graph speaks for itself 🤩

Nice, with the sun rising earlier, this Octopus Energy #SavingSession is even easier as the solar output picked up just before 9am when the session started.

We made £5.34 in the latest #SavingSession 🎉 it's definitely worth signing up if you have an #ASHP! Looking forward to this stuff becoming more common, it actually feels like you can make a difference by shifting load.

Well our January 19th Octopus #savingsession earned 51p. I'm not sure how impressive this is, given that we were away from home that day and had thrown habitual energy caution to the winds for the 3 preceding weeks of Christmas/guests/maximum occupancy.

I adjusted the heating so it came on higher beforehand, and will go much lower for the period.

See if anyone notices...

Oh NBD, just cooking ahead to avoid using more electricity during the evening peak #SavingSession #DemandFlexibilityService

(Why yes, thanks for noticing, our induction hob IS incredibly quick, convenient and clean to use)

Arrgghh there’s another #SavingSession at tea time today! Opt in quick! Just seen the email and missed the alert at midnight.

We're doing another of the UK's electricity #savingSession tonight. We were on the trials with octopus so this isn't new.

Cooked dinner ready before 5, set home assistant to turn off lights, TV, etc. At 5.

Currently have everyone in the kitchen with dinner, one light, and a radio on. Using 175w

Had a begging email earlier about coal power stations being on standby :alex_grimace:

❄️-4 outside yesterday but the heat pump still used a fraction of the power of our old gas boiler on a cold day (graph displays total household electricity - no gas here now!)

🐙⚡Can you tell when yesterday's @OctopusEnergy@twitter.com #SavingSession was?

Tonight’s #OctopusEnergy #SavingSession is gonna be a tough one. 2 hours long and -1ºC outside. I’ll give it my best shot though.

Tonight's mammoth #Octopus #SavingSession is sponsored by Aldi's cheapo Bailey's 😁🥃🔥 Hang in there everyone! ❄️ #SavingSessions

Busy day… VAT return ready, Support worker invoices paid, documents finessed, calmed a panicking pal and chatted to another pal about nonsense. Cooking meal early so we can shift energy use and be part of tonight’s #OctopusEnergy #SavingSession #SavingSessions #DemandFlexibilityScheme

Think it’s teaching us that _some_ people with disruptable practices will. Hopefully the ‘irrational’ action on show (go pub, spend £20, save £2) will finally nail the whole #resourceMan cost optimiser b/s

Spare a minute or two to browse the #savingsession hashtag. The Analyst in me says it's because of a "oh, it's new and different" effect and it will wear off but the hope is that this teaches…

Another #Octopus #SavingSession tomorrow 5pm-6pm? That's unexpected.

Looks like we'll be eating by candlelight!

Taking part in the @OctopusEnergy #SavingSession from now until 6.30pm. Everything but essentials has been turned off and candles lit.

Yeay new #savingsession tonight. House battery is prepped and I'm ready.

Made another £1.40 out of #octopus #savingsession number 2
