Can’t find the answer you’re looking for? These topics may have some helpful advice:
 


Times when your power stays on, even if you run out of credit


At certain times of the day you won’t lose power, even if you run out of credit and 
emergency credit. This is called your “non-disconnect hours”. Your energy will 
stay on at these times:


• Monday to Friday, from 6pm till 9am the next day


• Saturday from midnight until 9am, and from 4pm until 9am on Monday


• All day on Easter Sunday, 25 and 26 December, and 1 January


This protects you so that you’ll never lose power when PayPoint shops might be 
closed. Though you can top up with the OVO Energy Top-up app any time of night or day.


Remember: if you’ve run out of credit, you need to top up before these “non-disconnect hours” are over to avoid losing power.

Ok so why is it in friendly mode not seen it before 

There’s a bit about it here in page 5. It’s meant to keep power on over weekends and bank holidays

Ok thanks for your help 

I can't open the link to page 5 as I am really confused about all of this. I've just had a new smart meter installed and couldn't get much sense from the online chat with ovo about what it is.
