Struggling to achieve Power Move target!

Lights (assuming they are all LED; if not, you should swap them out for replacements) and TVs (not plasma TVs) have very low power consumption, so you can turn them on as usual even within the 3-hour slot.

I use one of these to check the power use of various items, really useful.

If you're cooking, washing and using power hungry devices during the weekdays but  outside of those hours it should not be a problem. There should be no need to switch off lights or TV unless they're all particularly power hungry. 

As for saving 10% off the bill that sounds good to me. 

To be honest all of the answers have been posted before on similar questions. I'm not sure what @Sleepysusie is trying to achieve by posting again although the answers get another airing which is not a bad thing. You can't please all of the people all of the time.

This is a bit of a mystery which is currently being investigated at OVO.

I changed it to half-hourly on my account (Firefox browser on my laptop, not the app) when I first joined Power Move at the end of October, others report that they have changed it online too.

But it seems that the option isn’t always there, or isn’t always visible for some people.
(I can’t find it anymore now in my account).
Nobody appears to know just why it’s behaving like that.

EDIT- Click this for one explanation of what can cause it and how to fix it:
 

Just had another email saying unfortunately you didn’t meet your target between 4:30pm to 6 pm on Friday 1st December how could I us less energy I was out all day till 7 pm come on OVO just cut your prices and stop giving customers unreachable targets 

It does seem to be a bit of a moveable jobby, this updating to half-hourly button.
 

At the moment it is visible after a bit of a search (via Safari browser, I haven’t checked on the OVO app): my online OVO account has the half-hourly button visible via the “path to zero” link from the home page, then by clicking on the “discover Power Move” and then finally the “Update to half-hourly” button. I didn’t try clicking it, though.

@Nukecad & @waltyboy

Thanks both for your replies trying to elucidate the mystery of the seemingly moveable "update to half-hourly meter reading" button. This just gets curiouser and curiouser!

Routinely I use Firefox browser on a desktop PC for all of my online stuff with MS Edge as a reserve option. I do not have the app. I've just checked my Ovo account using  both Firefox and MS Edge. On the homepage menu in neither browser do I find a "Path to Zero" link though I do recall it being there previously. It's weird that it's available to some but not to others.

I'm not going to concern myself any further with the issue.

Thank you @Mike K …and as @Nukecad mentioned earlier, it is a mystery that is getting investigated by OVO.  Clarity will come soon, I’m sure!!

Best of luck to you…

I’m not trying to achieve anything, I just don’t agree with this stupid way of cutting off my appliances, I’m 65 and I am Not Retired, unable to. My home has Dimplex Quantum storage heating fitted by my local council and far too expensive to run. No gas as they ripped it out. I have two  electric panel heaters which are more controllable, and a fan heater. Still £12 to £14 per day now the weather is colder. I’m ok, just… but I really feel for those on a very limited income. Saving pennies with this farcical scheme is an insult.
