Are you an OVO customer and interested in being part of a grid balancing scheme? Check out Power Move and Power Move Plus:
Hi
Power Rewards is now one of several schemes that rewards you for saving energy at specific times when the National Grid could be under stress. It requires access to your smart meter data. You can only sign up to one of these schemes at a time and need to opt in to each event (the second test is this evening (22nd November) between 17:30 and 18:30).
Check out other schemes from the likes of Hugo or Loop to see if any are more beneficial to you as the method of rembursement and threshold for payments do vary.
In the first test the demand was reduced by over 100MWh, the equivalent of a gas power station.

Nothing down as Trust Power on the Utilisation Report that I can see for either of the tests.

Well I turned the heat pump off for the hour anyway. However my Loop graph really shows up how much the Legionella cycle uses, it ran at 3pm today and took apparently about 5kWh. Looking again on HeetGeek it appears to be quite pointless for us. That’s something I can switch off permanently 😊.

I’d not heard about Heat Geek before .. thanks
Good to be able to see the results on Loop an hour or so later (yes this does go up to 9pm)

I wonder if I’ve actually properly signed up for the loop switch off … although I’ve put my details in more than once !! I’ve deleted the app and will reinstall to see if it makes any difference. 🤞🏻

I didn’t get anything from Loop on this … I’m still just testing what we can do

Ok thanks - good to know. Will keep an eye out and on Hugo too
So can you join Power Rewards if your energy company, in my case Eon, have also been offering discounts for power saving? Do they happen at the same times or different dates?

If the scheme is part of that run by National Grid (DFS) then you can only be part of one scheme. Some suppliers have alternative schemes. You need to check because if you sign up to more than one from National Grid, then neither will count
