Please find below a copy of an email received by my son from Octopus energy today with regard to Solar PV export payments some of you may already be aware of this but some might not be.

Hi,
In the midst of an energy crisis it’s nice to be able to share a little good news:we’re doubling the rate of your Outgoing Fixed export tariff. This means every kWh you export - previously paid at 7.5p/kWh - is now worth 15p/kWh.
This change has already gone live as of the 20th September. You don’t need to do anything, we’ll take a reading from your smart meter and increase your export payment rate.
It’s more important than ever to ditch fossil fuels, and move to lovely green electricity as fast as we possibly can. We believe our energy system needs to become more flexible, more decentralised, and full of as many green electrons as possible.
Thanks for being a pioneer on that journey.
Love & (green) Power,
Alex Schoch
