Are there different requests for different people on Power Move Flex?

Does Power Flex ask different people to do different events ?  There is lots of chat on Power Move about a Power Flex event at 12 - 2 today 10 November.  All the participants refer to a Power Down event but I got a message saying that it was a Power Up event.  Given the day and time I did think it a bit odd but here is the message -

Get ready to Power Up
 

10 November, 12:00 PM to 2:00 PM

Over the 18 months, Power Move Flex (as part of CrowdFlex) has shifted 864,700 kWh's and paid out over £1.02 million in bill credits.

We've had over 100,000 customers take part over the 3 trials in which Power Move Flex helped match the demand to the power being generated. So homed used cleaner, greener energy.

The trials were aimed at understanding how households can contribute to a greener electricity grid. The learnings we gathered from being part of these trials will be essential for the Electricity System Operator to plan for the future of the electricity grid, and how our customers can play a role in this. Together we've been making energy better for people and the planet. 

 

Our current trials are now closed, and we'd like to thank our users for their participation.

Hey ​@DuncanL ​@costeek 

 

Great to see you’re both involved with the Power Move Flex trial! I did check this with the team and there will be different incentives for different groups throughout the trial.

 

Sometimes you may see someone else’s reward on here for example and it could well be different to what you’ve been sent. Just make sure you stick to the events and incentives sent to yourself.

You should get an e-mail advising when the next power up or power down event is going to take place. Often this is within a couple hours of the event as is based on estimated electricty usage at the times.

    We cannot say. I believe, it is different for different areas.

      Hey ​@johnmcc 

       

      Sounds like you’re talking about Power Move Flex? I’m glad to see some of our community members have already stopped by with some really helpful advice here.

       

      As costeek mentioned, the event times are different for different areas, so we wouldn’t be able to say. You’ll receive an email ahead of your next available event.

       

      I hope this helps, if you’ve got any other questions, please do let us know.😊
