Power Move Autumn Challenge

The autumn challenge is now open - sign up today

 

The Power Move autumn challenge is now open, and you can sign up today.

 

With Power Move we challenge you to use 13.50% or less of your electricity during peak hours, by moving your non-essential electricity to a different time of day. Your reward? Up to £15 per month energy bill credit.

 

We’re changing how we run Power Move - If you’ve already joined a challenge we’ll now automatically add you to the next challenge and any future challenges. So you don’t need to remember to join any future challenges to enjoy the benefits of Power Move.

 

If you took part in the Power Move summer challenge, we’d love to hear about your experience. Please complete this short survey, you’ll be helping us improve for future challenges.

Great news Abby! Already signed up, but great that it will be automatic from now on. I'm loving the fact that it is making me more conscious of my usage even as a light user and when i use it, and also the reward gives me that motivation. 

I cant complete the survey due to it being an unsecure site, is there another way?

Not an OVO issue - Google Workspace issues are out-of-scope.

Qualys SSL Labs also reports no issues. https://www.ssllabs.com/ssltest/analyze.html?d=forms.gle&s=199.36.158.100&hideResults=on&latest

Many thanks @Abby_OVO, looking forward to the Autumn Power Move challenge.
 

Like @Ria my browser won’t allow me to see your survey, but I’ve got only positive things to say about my (short, I only joined on the 7th Sep. when I happened to see it mentioned in my OVO account) experience of the Summer challenge.  Good news about, in the future, being automatically joined to challenges.

 

cheers…

I received the email about the autumn challenge, but when I click the link and log in to my account, the webpage says:

Power Move

Oops, there’s a problem…

This page is not accessible at the moment.

 

Best,

Jason

Hi @JMB 

 

Frustrating for you, that is.

 

Have you tried not clicking the link at all: instead, go into your account (via a browser, not the OVO app).  On your home page you’ll see a “Discover Path to Zero” legend. Click on that and scroll down to the Autumn Power Move which is a large green square, and click “join”.  
 

That should do it for you…let us know how you go (starts tomorrow, so you’re just in nice time!).

 

all the best….

Thanks for the suggestion. Tried that, but I have no “Discover Path to Zero” or any mention of Power Move anywhere in my account!

I have the same issue. It's not on my home page either.

@JMB and @MM94 That’s weird, isn’t it…the challenge is weekdays only and today being a Sunday gives you (I guess?) a bit of wiggle room to try and find a solution.

 

Apologies, but short of hunting down a Power Move Autumn button in your account I’m not sure what else you can do: maybe try going into your account via your browser, but also via the a downloaded OVO app? Even hunting about for it via a Google search? Or see if you can chat with an OVO person online?

 

Best of luck with it anyway, it’s a frustrating business when the links don’t work…

I have just joined the forum, having signed up for Power Move. For my own clarity can confirm the challenge only applies Monday to Friday between 4 and 7 PM.

I have read various articles stating 12.5% drop to 15% drop.

 

Is there anyway to easily view if I am achieving the target?
