Battery export via VPP on IOG
A popular VPP provider recently announced support for my AlphaESS battery and I was very keen and happy to set it up.
Only after setup I noticed Octopus don’t allow VPPs with IOG and only support Charge Pack.
We’re on an old FIT scheme with another supplier from solar and have never exported anything via Octopus before
Questions to the group:
- I‘m guessing if we continue exporting the battery via the VPP Octopus could cancel/change our IOG contract?
- We use a lot of (probably over complicated) automations via Home Assistant to manage the battery and IOG charging - I can’t see much online about Charge Pack being available through API etc
As always grateful for others experience!
