So I had a reply from Octopus for my complaint about not paying for the electricity I exported for the first 3 months after my solar installation while waiting for the export tariff to be set up.

They replied saying that they couldn't possibly pay me for it.

I asked if I could take that as a formal deadlock letter and take it to the Ombudsman.

They then said "Oh, OK then, we'll pay you for it as a gesture of goodwill".

Big companies always try it on

So about 3 months after I had my solar panels installed, Octopus finally set up an export tariff so they could pay me for any excess I send back to the grid.

Nicely timed so that we've missed the time of year when I was actually sending a lot of excess electricity back to the grid.

I've been in touch to see if they'll credit me for the electricity I exported before the export tariff was set up, and they've said no.

Formal complaint made this morning. Let's see what happens.

We're back in the #MediterraneanSea – and we're going bigger than ever!


Last year, we pulled 6,500 illegal #octopus traps from the largest octopus habitat in Greece. This year? We're aiming for all of them.✊


On the invitation of the Region of Eastern Macedonia and Thrace and the Fisheries Department of Xanthi, we're launching our boldest mission yet: Remove EVERY illegal trap to save the #Octopus.


With the support of the Hellenic Association of Ichthyologists and in collaboration with the Greek Coast Guard, our crew is working nonstop to crush last year's record — and restore marine life before it’s too late.


📍New location for the #SeaEagle. Same relentless spirit.

🎯 Bigger goal. Same unstoppable crew.

🔥 Let's go!

This is more of a curiosity, and to see what the bias is here on #Mastodon, so here is a band of characters that might be a potential travel buddy in a month or so. As a poll on this default instance only allows for 4 options, and there are 6 to choose from, respond to this toot with you're choice of travel companion. #Boost this to get the largest audience it can find.

Congratulations on the new heat pump! A colleague of mine had #Octopus install one for her earlier this year, and she's delighted with it. We went with #GoodEnergy because Octopus wasn't able to help us, but I'm convinced Octopus would've been better value if our house had been suitable.

We're not yet ready to buy a battery — I want to go through a winter with the new heat pumps so that I know how much capacity to buy — but I've heard good things about #Victron. You might give them a look. They seem to be a bit more expensive than canned systems like #Powerwall, but a lot more flexible.
