Thanks for your post ​@saundersg21 and welcome to the OVO Forum!

 

I can see a few members have left some great answers here. ​@Vickiplum if you’re still confused, to confirm, Flex has ended, but we’ll let you know when a new event is going to start.

 

Power Move is still ongoing. You can find all the info in this guide:

I have been opted into Power Move for a long while now. Just recently I noticed something I had not seen before, but I suspect that it may always have happened. Power Move rewards (now entries into a prize draw) are determined by the electricity used every day with the amount of electricity used during the 5 - 7 pm period Monday to Friday then being expressed as a percentage of that total usage. So the electricity used all day at weekends is counted in the total. At the start of this month we had two Bank Holidays and I noticed that they are recorded on Power Move as “No Data”. So none of the electricity used during those two days will be counted.

Hey ​@Bendog,

 

Since January of last year, bank holidays have not counted towards your Power Move targets. For more information, please refer to Section 8 (how do you measure peak use?) of the Power Move T&C’s.

 

Hopefully this is helpful 😊

It’s been a while since I shared one of my pretty graphics, so here’s my ‘worm’* for this month so far:

Grey cells: dates belonging to the previous and next months; 
Pale pink: weekends; Dark pink: days ignored (here: bank holidays)
The last point on the curve is also the ‘Avg. peak use’ reported by the app - a convenient check on my arithmetic.


[OT: This little exercise presented a wealth of learning opportunities about charting in Excel, like how to show week numbers, how to produce a pseudo-datatable below the chart itself, how to line up the decimal points in the datatable cells, and the crowning glory: how to vary the colour of the worm to indicate how well or badly I was doing. Great fun for an old fossil with time on his hands (acquired by ignoring all the mundane household chores he’s supposed to be doing!).]


  • The ‘worm’ will be recognized by afficionados of white-ball cricket, where it’s used to show how well or badly a run chase is going by plotting both teams’ progress during their innings. There, the abscissa shows overs and balls bowled and the ordinate runs scored; each blob indicates a wicket.
