Due to the eclipse, Octopus states that as they have very large solar farms, electricity production will be reduced.Octopus are urging consumers to try and not use high energy items like washing machines between 6pm and 8pm on Wednesday maybe even charge up our mobile phones before 6pm and if possible prepare your tea before 6pm.

Thank you infoman.

I'm with a different supplier. So far there's been no communication from them regarding the solar eclipse.

I think it is to try to avoid firing up gas stations, which makes sense I think. Octopus is giving its customers an hours free electricity on Saturday in exchange for the effort.
