The Prize ohm hour seems so lame as if everyone qualifies for it & then it is a lottery. It was fine for winter but Spring is here & when is this going to change. I remember Mega Ohm hour starting as early as May last year.

I would also love to know! To say I've grown tired of Prize Ohm hours is an understatement...

There's a comment in the following thread from @samklee that they're about to "sunset" the Prize #OhmHours

@monraut, @lepohm @UkiwiS is correct Prize #OHs will be suspended shortly as Mega Summer 2019 kicks in but they will return once again in the Fall.
It's important to note that Prize OHs were created to allow our users the ability to participate in OhmHours continuously, all year round, particularly during the cooler months of the year when the Grid is not stressed and our ability to receive revenue is essentially non-existent. Just to give you a sense of how much variability there is with the energy market as influenced by seasonality/demand on the Grid, as I write this, the local market price per mWh at 4:53pm is $20.48 for the day-ahead market. Last summer the market price exceeded $400, at least 4 times and once it was in the $900 range.
