Just signed for tonight 5-6pm.

I'm an Eon Next dual fuel customer with no particular expertise but have some time on my hands that I am using to try and help out a bit.

I must have had a relatively high starting point - used 0.15kwh but a saving of 85% for a reward of £2.50. Party time! I think I can only beat that by tripping the main fuse and going to Tesco for an hour

Your average must have been 1kWh for that particular period. 85% is a decent reduction 👍

Thanks for the heads up. I haven't heard anything from Eon Next yet.

Am signed up with Utrack (notification must have been between 12 and 1.30 today) although no indication of the £/kWh reduction as of 1.40pm

EDIT I now see the utilisation price agreed with Eon Next @ £1.50/kWh reduction so looks to be 50% of the 'normal'. Bids of £3/kWh reduction appear to have all been rejected for this event. Bit of a damp squib really 🤔

That’s a bit of a disappointment. Oh well, I’ve signed up anyway.
