Power Move continuing- What do we think?

Looks like Power Move is going to be an ongoing thing, as part of the Path To Zero. Bit disappointed that 100% renewable plans are disappearing especially since there's talk that they may eventually uncouple the price of electricity from the wholesale gas price, which would actually make renewable plans cheaper potentially.

The new Power Move credit though, £10/month, doesn't really seem worth the effort of keeping track of peak time energy use. Had it remained at £20 I'd probably have considered signing up again once available, but with bills of £150/month for using almost nothing £10 reward doesn't feel like a reward, it feels more like a dog treat for being a good boy.

Ah, my brain has just kicked in: I should think before I open my gob! On reflection of course, for anybody with an EV for instance, or specialised requirements in their household, or indeed a spacious house or busy household, then 15 kWh might indeed seem minimal…apologies anyway, I was just a bit puzzled about the “almost nothing”!

All the best…
