What's next? When is the next Power Move challenge?


Since I have only just started taking any positive steps to shift usage away from the 4-7 pm slot, I have no chance of actually hitting the Sep target so…

 

Does anyone know what/when the next Power Move/ Shift & Save challenge?

There was a previous post where it was said the same initiative eould be for Oct but we would need to opt into. 

I was also told a couple of days ago that the next initiative we would get an email to sign up to but just in case as emails have been a bit inconsistent for some to just keep an eye on the website near end of month to sign up to the next one.

Thanks Ria.

 

I think I read somewhere that e would be “auto-enrolled” for future challenges unless we opted out.

I've just signed up to the new Autumn Power Move it's a bit disappointing that it's only £15 this time around.

Maybe I'm being stupid, but where's the link to sign up on the website? I'm going in circles trying to find it. Maybe it's only offered to select customers? 🤔

£15? I’ve only been offered £10 for hitting 12.5% or less…but I’m a really low user normally in the summer (when the sun shines - solar panels) & the £10 might nearly cover my actual monthly usage so that would be a win compared to the £1 or £2 I got with power move. We’ll see how it goes when the sun doesn’t shine quite as much later in the year!

But…it’s not just for us it’s for the planet so really it’s a win all round 😁👍.

Ah. Seems I’m a late sign-up to the summer challenge. Maybe I’ll be able to sign up for the Autumn one..? I’ll have a look.

Thanks for being prompt with the link, but it’s a non-starter:

It makes me wonder if it’s for selected  customers (although I did participate in the original Power Move).

Hey @r44712 

 

Power Move is available to all customers with a Smart Meter, and seen as you were part of the original Power Move trial you should definitely be able to take part. I’m going to reach out to you via PM to see if we can help sort this for you so you can be part of the initiative and get saving! Look out for a message here soon: https://forum.ovoenergy.com/inbox/overview

@Abby_OVO 

I am also seeing that same “Oops” error message when following the link in the invitation email that I got this morning.
(I was also contantly getting the same error after being invited to the summer challenge a couple of weeks or so ago, so had just decided to wait for the autumn invite).

I have just done a support webchat, the agent couldn’t help but said that they had escalated the issue to Technical Support.

I have now managed to enrol for the Autumn Challenge for others seeing the same “Oops”  error I did it like this:

  1. I opened a browser on my phone and logged into my OVO online account.
  2. I could then see the “Path to zero”  page and go there,
  3. select Power Move,
  4. scroll down to the Autumn Challenge,
  5. click the enrol button..

Note that was using Firefox browser and not in the OVO app, if you use a different browser on your phone then presumably it should still work.

It would appear to be a technical issue with the Desktop version of the OVO portal not displaying the pages correctly, if you switch to a mobile device then it is available.

 

EDIT - Just to note that the error shown on the desktop webpage when linking from the email has now been changed, so they are working on it.

I had a support chat a week or two ago for this problem. They said they would escalate to Tech Support but I never heard anything from them. That’s why I turned to this forum for help.
