Are there conditions to the free electricity offer?

20p since the start. 

Power Move Flex and the two free hours per week are two different trials. You don't have to opt in to the two free hours, you just have to select which of the available hours you want, on the app, each week. Shifting electricity is the Power Move Flex, which you do have to opt into each time when you receive an email about a power move up or down . Which are you asking about?

There are 3 separate events;

To receive your 2 free hours of electricity you have to pick your hours every week using the app. You get up to 1kw per hour.

With Power Move you avoid using electricity during set hours, which are currently 5 - 7pm. You receive entries into a prioze draw based on the percentage you move . 

With Power Move Flex they let you know when they want you to use or avoid using electricity for one hour, I receive an email each evening and have to opt in.

Well l don’t opt in every time because sometimes l am not home or at work so can’t do  it all the time l don’t earn anything for Sundays as l am working so l miss out my free usage which l am guessing you don’t get back. well not the end of the world.

I have picked my 2 hours when I have rem red in time. 2 things puzzle me, though. Does the smart meter display recognise it as I can't see any difference? It still seems to be showing electricity being charged during those hours. Also, how is it shown (if at all) on the bill so I can see if it is being applied? 

I'm not one of the people who spends hours studying the meter/readings/etc. Life's too short and it's all so complicated but I'd like to know how to tell if the system is working. Thanks

Even by simply opting for 2 hours of free electricity you still get a credit.  It's small but non the less its a credit.

I was away for one week, opted for my 2 hours free and got the credit...

You haven’t said how much credit - the full 2 units for 2 hours? 

I tried doing it and got credited with 4p.

I got £1.00

I find it all too complicated. I try to opt in to everything available but still get nothing. It's not worth the effort frankly.

Hi ​@Topsy, your in home display won’t know anything about which particular hour(s) you’ve chosen that week, so you're absolutely correct in your first question: your hour(s) will show as being charged as normal for any electricity you use.  However, come your next bill (or possibly the bill following that one!) we come to the second of your questions:  there’ll be at least one line saying “Beyond - 2 hours free electricity” showing a credit in your bill, amounting to a rebate for the electricity your meter registered during your claimed hour(s).  Up to the allowed maximum of 1kWh per hour. 
 

So your meter, like Basil Fawlty’s hapless Manuel, knows nothing at the time about any “free” electricity, but the usage is eventually credited on your next bill(s). 
 

It’s not a fortune, adds up to a maximum possible of around 2 quid a month if you’re really accurate and tweak your usage perfectly, but it’s welcome nonetheless!  Finishes end of August, though, so only six slots left to claim…

EDIT forgot to say, you can check in the Beyond app and see any upcoming slots that you’ve booked, and you can also see every previous slot you’ve ever booked.
