I have read somewhere that Ovo have introduced a scheme/ plan where you can get up to £100 back for reducing usage between certain hours

How do I join?

 

You can join Power Move in the OVO app if you're eligible and have Beyond, our Energy Savings Account.

 

2. Who can join?

 

To be eligible to join Power Move, you need to:

  • be an OVO customer and have your energy supplied by us
  • have downloaded the OVO app and unlocked Beyond
  • have a working electricity smart meter
  • have a credit meter
  • have a single rate tariff only (e.g. not Economy 7 or Economy 10)
  • have an active Direct Debit
  • have opted into half-hourly meter reads for billing (you can do this when you join)
  • have opted into half-hourly meter reads for settlement (you can do this when you join)
  • have an active email address

 

Charge Anytime customers are eligible to join.

 

Please note: not all meter types and tariffs work with Power Move. This means customers with multi-rate meters/tariffs, like Economy 7 and Economy 10 can’t join Power Move right now.

 

Howdy @Susanfl17 !

Yup, it’s a trial scheme called OVO Power Move. Not everyone will be offered it, but if you’re eligible OVO will let you know. There’s more info available too, which you can find at https://www.ovoenergy.com/blog/ovo-news-power-move

 

Power Move is about rewarding you for using energy in a way that’s better for the planet. That doesn’t mean using any less energy. Instead, we challenge you to use energy at greener times of the day – in return for credit on your energy bill.

So why was I only offered Shift & Save by OVO, where I could have earned more and reduced my peak power use by more??

Do you think they will continue one or both schemes??   There’s still a peak of demand in the early evening, and gas is still having to be used to cover it!!!

I think we might start to see different types of tariff, octopus have one where the rate differs during the day, similar to the old Economy 7, but more variations at night, morning and evening.

I think Shift & Save only has a future if the National Grid continues with DFS because the two are highly integrated with each other.

Power Move however… That’s independent of DFS and I wouldn’t be surprised if OVO starts to offer it more widely.

Power Move will be available to choose for anyone with a smart meter. More details coming soon. AND you’ll have access to the Power Move group when it’s been updated!

Nice!

In that case, I’d probably enable Power Move on my account even if I kept failing it. :)
