Are there conditions to the free electricity offer?

Look at your Free Electricity previous slots list on your OVO Energy App, it would show there if you had selected actual slot. 

I don’t understand what’s gone wrong if you’ve picked dated you chosen you’re asked to confirm & get a reminder on the chosen day  

When I choose my free 1KWh free hours on the App I get reminders ch to pick my time, unfortunately I don’t get an option to choose the day, when my chosen hour is approaching. I also put in my phone diary. & msg my partner the dates so we’re on same page.  Usually we do a wash in the machine and if Sunday we may put oven on and start the meat cooking for dinner but in summer we don’t do a roast every wk.

Tbh it’s a lot of faff for 21p approx cost of 1kwh  so 42p a week. My quick brain calculation £1.68 pm + vat £1.74 pm. It’s not worth the worry if it does go wrong. I know that I would start an appliance at the stated time of free electricity & it wasn’t registering at correct time on my daily breakdowns I guess my smartphone signals out of sync. I can’t be bothered to do anything as at end of day I haven’t been charged more than I’d have used anyway. 
I hope you get your misunderstanding dealt with. I find customer services are very helpful when you contact 

Good Luck. 
 

How do I find my previous free slots, it doesn't appear on the app

Not wasting time trying to reshuffle my electricity usage for a few pence. If I use any in one of the given slots so be it.

Drat!  I opted for free lekky tonight from 9-10pm… planning to stack the dishwasher, washing machine with the past two days’ crud, and, having turned off the heating/hot water  storage tank timeswitch yesterday, planning a whoof tonight before shower day tomorrow…  Then ‘er indoors diaries a visit to geriatric, needy friends early evening and a slap up meal out later.  So here’s my dillemma; do I save a few bob (and the Planet) by turning her dow? Thus alienating old friends and worse, the love of my life…? And don’t talk about programmable timeswitches… me ‘ouse ain’t got Smart kontrolz and at my age I can barely see the antique digital timeswitch in the airing cupboard, let alone work out how to change it!  

It's not like winning the lottery saving a few bob on Power Shift. Go out and enjoy not saving the planet ot one night.

Preserve the domestic harmony.

Think how much energy you have saved at home by going out and not having to cook.

That's saved you a few bob - or not if you are paying for the meal out. 😀

Free electricity is a misnomer. I couldn’t understand why I wasn't getting it. When I looked into it,  I am not shifting enough electricity to qualify. I might have got 1/2 an hour if I had opted in to every event, but at such short notice this wasn't possible. As a low user I would never qualify for 2 hours anyway. OVO need to re-word 'free electricity' or highlight the t's and c's.

Completely agree ​@Vickiplum. At best it’s x1 kWh free per hour time slot chosen but if you are a low user or have solar panels/battery storage it’s very little gain if any.
