The press is forecasting doom a gloom beast from the east heavy snow coldest night of the year and more coal fired power stations are being warmed up on standby so is there an energy shift planned?

Probably won't be one. Two coal-boilers up and running already as the predicted extra demand is three to four times what energy shifting could achieve at short notice.
Don't shoot me, I'm only the piano player. I DON'T work for or on behalf of EON.Next, but am willing to try and help if I can. Not on mains gas, mobile network or mains drainage. House heated almost entirely by baby dragons. -

There are due to be 12 DFS events between 1 November 2022 and 31 March 2023. Does anyone know how many there have been so far?
It has been forecast for a week that the next few days will be the coldest days of the year so far so can we assume it is just the usual incompetence and apathy that has resulted in no DFS at this time?
Could it be that my excessive energy usage during the previous event hour has warned them off? -

Not for 08/03/23 as the deadline for notification to participants has passed without notifications from National Grid ESO.
There should be 2 test events in March - as for the 'live' events, none anounced yet. -
Level 141 Week AgoBright are running a Glow Delight, electricity reduction event tomorrow 15/03/2023 between 18:30 and 19:30. If you reduce your consumption enough, you'll go into the draw and we'll let you know if you've been selected for the £1000 prize.

Energy shift at same time as above to which I have signed up with an enticement of 75p for 20% reduction. -

🔍 The same - I got my notification via email fairly quickly @ 1809
No in-day adjustment being used unless the Eon Next DFS decision-making team have changed their minds again. -
Level 643 Days AgoFor the record, I reduced by 58% on 15/3 from a typical usage of 1.23kW and was awarded £2.18. I normally seem to get about £2 so have now earned £10.15 for five events. Better than a poke in the eye with a sharp stick as they say.
