My MPAN has now been accepted at octopus and we will start selling back on monday.......if only it was today

Do you have a copy of your letter from the DNO? Your MPAN is on your account already?

Battery at 92%, car largely charged, dishwasher on and we've drawn less than £1 worth from the grid all day. It looks like there was a bit of a glitch first thing when the house drew from the grid rather than the battery but all good since then. The Mr is just back from a work trip with loads of laundry though.

Finished at 14kWh, batteries to 100%, only a tiny bit exported

Always the way, my better half did it all on Wednesday in the grey & gloom, nothing to do today, not washing, drying or even dishwater.

Managed 15kWh & still trickling in at 20w, battery was 100% but is now having to supplement up to 350w, it's fish & chips tonight so no oven or hob, should get half way through the night before we start to pull from the grid again.

Although we gave away 4.2kWh

I have been stuck on 'Export readings are available' for over a month, it looks like there is one more stage. The only bill I have had since signing up with Octopus on 22nd Sept has been for the single day I was on a standard rate before I switched to Octopus Go. Do those of you successfully exporting show a different status? I would call them up, but the wait time is horrible and I don't particularly want them to looking too carefully into my account as I don't think I should be able to buy electricity at 7.5p and sell back at 15p by having Go and Outgoing Fixed.

Mine says the same.

I sent them an email earlier this week and was told I would get my first export statement and payment on the 22/11

That will be 2 months from when the export went live.

I found twitter was the easiest way to contact them, I signed up just to use it, as I have no idea how otherwise

Phew at least they are consistent - it would be nice to know what exactly is going on though regarding costs.

There was no mpan letter on there, but its all sorted now.

topped off at 12.7kwh today. Thats going to be tough to be beat over the winter months i think.

They've probably pulled all the developers off any work that doesn't involved onboarding (hateful yank word) Bulb customers

I have my MPAN number as that is the premises number it's nothing to do with exporting, on the page I found on octopus's website they asked for a copy of the letter from the DNO to be uploaded. I wonder if I'm on the wrong page?

No there is two different numbers….import and export. The one on your dno letter is you standard import from the grid number. When you export, they supply you with a different number.

When I did my export I uploaded a response from the DNO re the G99 application. It was an email saying they had updated their records etc...

Octopus were happy with that email as notification to the DNO.

They were also happy with my letter from my dno…..but they then asked my dno to supply an export mpan number. Now my import and export has different account numbers, in case i want to switch one account and not the other. Makes sense to me

There are two separate MPANs. One is for importing, one for exporting. The DNO Letter will give the export MPAN.
