For clarity:
Minimum energy consumption 1330-1430
Maximum energy consumption 1430-1730
Irrelevant energy consumption 1730-1830
Minimum energy consumption 1830-1930 (saving session)
I've just opted in to this, but I've not really been following the whole thing.Minimum energy consumption 1330-1430
Maximum energy consumption 1430-1730
Irrelevant energy consumption 1730-1830
Minimum energy consumption 1830-1930 (saving session)
Are you saying I should switch everything on now, and then switch everything to 'normal' at 1730, and then switch everything off at 1830?
Thanks!

The cynic in me thinks they could hold back on the notification to accounts that have “gamed” the system the most.
In reality my notifications have been inconsistent too, i had an email about 30mins ago.
That may or may not be the case, but not so for me at least.In reality my notifications have been inconsistent too, i had an email about 30mins ago.
I'm invariably at work during working hours so not able to shift usage into pre-saving session time-slot. All I can do is reduce usage in for the session, which is pretty much have dinner an hour or so later than usual.
I’m a bit late to the party too.
I charged my car to 90% last night and I’ve only been local today. I’ve set it to go to 100% and just plugged it in. I’ve found some stuff that needs washing, got the dishwasher running and I’m baking some potatoes in the oven.
It’s going to be an early dinner on the table for 18:00 and then the big power down at 18:30.
I think this is the last one isn’t it?

Not sure I'll receive an email now as I opted in after seeing this thread earlier. I don't tend to check the App every day, so I appreciate those who do and spot these sessions well before the start.
As luck would have it we need to eat earlier than usual today, so by fluke would have finished before 6:30 anyway, but good to know before it was too late to join.

I have also just received the e mail.
I note the explanation for the late notification:
Why have I only found out about this Saving Session on the day?
Saving Sessions is all about proving people can come together to balance the grid and avoid fossil fuels.
We don't always get much notice when the grid needs help, so to make sure Saving Sessions can work at a big scale, we really want to find out how readily people can get involved in a Saving Session with different amounts of notice.
That's the reason for the short notice. Don't worry if you don't get to opt in in time – this Session won't impact any streaks you've been building up.
