I've got to admit that I like the milestones which I think of as E badges. Today is a biggy! :D

ditto, but fan1 seems stuck on 44kWh. I'm not certain they are working correctly yet.

Milestone of first MWh power generation for our investment in Fan 1 & 2. :)

I am very happy with the interface and simplicity of the OC investment. It's now up to me to turn that first MWh into something greater either through the Heat Pumps or time specific export. Or just leave it to offset Winter costs. It is nice to know I have choices in my control. :praise:

It will also be a nice mental exercise at conclusion of year 1 to run the sum and see what the theoretical per kWh would have been. Irrelevant in a fixed return investment but the mind runs regardless. :D

I also took the time to dive in a little bit and manually link my dividends ftom the OC to my O power account. Just a reminder for you guys that's it's not automatic if you wish to go this route. You've got to request through the OC account.

"Hi Joe,

Good news — we’ve verified and linked your Octopus Energy account number!

Now, any dividends you earn from your investments on the Collective will be credited to the Octopus Energy account number you supplied:"


First div's should appear in June.
