Power Move Autumn Challenge

No worries. I’ve decided to join myself as well actually, so I’m along for the ride too! :)

When Power Move was trialled last year, I didn’t get to take part but I did get to watch the forum activity so I know what to expect.

The biggest challenge for me is whether I can get my usage low enough because I’m already a pretty low user myself.

Im a really low user as well so thought i was going to find it really hard. My main change was cooking dinner at lunchtime or after 7pm.

I used my aug figures to see how far out i was before i signed up, because i had only stumbled across it by accident, and was within 1% over the limit so knew i just needed to be more conscious more than anything drastic. Ive actually ended up below 11% so happy days! Good luck!

Nice. It’s a bit easier for me in theory. I travel a lot during the week and have an active lifestyle so I don’t tend to run power hungry stuff much during peak times. Helps a lot when I’m learning to scuba dive and volunteer with a thousand different places! :D

Hi, I have received same email power move, tryed to join, BUT, " OOP's there is a problem", problem was in September, problem still in October. Went to home page, logged in, but there is no option Power move. Does someone believe that OVO IT department doesn't know, that this page doesn't work? Well, and never worked...

@blue sky to report this I need to know what device/browser combo you’re using.

Blastoise186 - I am using same device, where I have received e-mail invitation to  Autumn challenge, I can log in to see OVO home page, see my energy usage, payments, etc. Do I need some very special device/browser to see and join  Autumn challenge? 

Nope, seems to work fine in Chrome. It also works fine in Firefox/Safari if you disable or bypass the enhanced anti-tracking stuff.

I don't think I will be able to ever hit my target. I'd already made big changes to power usage following the energy crisis and I don't have a dishwasher or tumble drier.  I wonder if I should withdraw. 

I experienced the same issue as many above - link did not work in Firefox browser on Windows. The problem appears to be the adblocker I have enabled by default. Tunring off the adblocker for OVO allowed both the link to work and presented me with the “Discover Path to Zero” banner on the account page.

Hope that’s useful to others!

Hey @Sandyeyes 

We’ve had quite a few helpful insights on this thread that might be helpful for you in making some changes you might not have thought of yet:

As there’s no penalty for not meeting the target, there’s no harm in staying on the Power Move Challenge, and if you don’t hit the target by the end, at the very least you’ll have changed some habits that still have a good impact for yourself and for the environment.
