      I wish. They still haven’t sorted the problem with the website, so I can’t even JOIN Power Move! This has been going on since September.

          Sorry Tim, but I’m not impressed by Power Move!!!  I just don’t have enough electric load, that I can move out of the 4 to 7 period.   I could only achieve required percentage by running my dishwasher and washing machine half empty, which is not very clever is it??

             Rgds,

                      Steve

          PS.  I do try and run them outside the peak period, because it’s the green think to do, but it’s just contributing to OVO’s profit, and I am getting no financial benefit!!!

            If you need any additional folk, count me in too….I received a pro rata payment for September as I joined late, and it was instantly credited to my account when the monthly due date arrived on 4th October.

              Hello @Chrisgh , that’s bad news you haven’t been able to join PowerMove, so frustrating…have you tried joining via your personal OVO account pages rather than the OVO website (look for “Discover Path to Zero” link off your Account’s home page and then look for the “Discover Power Move” button, and click on it to join.  

              Hope this works for you?  Let us know….

                I can’t see (and never have seen) a “Discover Path to Zero” link on my account home page, or anywhere else. https://account.ovoenergy.com/power-move just comes up with the usual

                “Oops, there’s a problem…

                This page is not accessible at the moment.”

                message which I have been getting for weeks. I reported it to Ovo weeks ago. They promised Tech Support would be in touch but I have heard nothing from them. I know other people have had the same problem and I was informed on this forum that it was being worked on, but that was a couple of weeks ago. I am very unhappy with Ovo’s attitude.

                I’ve just noticed that from the error page there is a link “ Back to Path to Zero “. It takes me to a page with a pretty banner:

                “New

                Our Path to Zero.

                Take steps to reduce your energy bills and our collective carbon footprint.”

                with no links to anything.

                If you’re OK with it, I’d happily go up for this one!

                My only request is that my forum username is used rather than my IRL name. :)
