Power Move Flex - Summer Trial

Updated on 16/01/25 by Ben_OVO

 

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

 

 

Hi everyone,

 

The second series of Power Move Flex, and first series of Power Move Flex for Charge Anytime ended earlier this year, and we’re about to start inviting eligible customers to the next series. It’ll run from July 2025 to October 2025.


Power Move Flex for Charge Anytime - Starts 7th July

 

First, we’ll be inviting our eligible Charge Anytime customers to Power Move Flex for Charge Anytime

 

You’ll earn credit for plugging in more often and for longer, so that we can charge your EV when the grid is greenest. 

 

By plugging in for longer, there’s more time to optimise your charging. Meaning it’s less likely your car will be charged with power from fossil fuels.

 

Just set the time you need your EV charged by, and we’ll do the rest.

 

You can find out more information here - Power Move Flex for Charge Anytime

 

Power Move Flex (Power Up and Power Down events) - Starts 14th July


Then, in June we’ll start inviting eligible customers to the next series of Power Up events (when there’s low demand on the grid) and Power Down events (when there’s high demand on the grid). 

 

As Power Move Flex is part of the CrowdFlex trial, we’re testing multiple ways a customer can earn rewards for helping manage demand on the grid.

 

Power Move Flex helps match demand to the power being generated – supporting the grid and making the most of the UK’s renewable energy. The aim is to shift your electricity use to times when there’s less demand – not to use more than normal.

 

The amount of the reward you’ll receive will depend on the reward group you are randomly placed into, how many events you participate in and/or how much you’re able to shift into or out of event times.

 

We’ll let you know at the start of the trial which group you’ve been randomly placed in.

 

For more information on the next series of Power Move Flex events, please visit Power Move Flex
 

Thanks

The OVO team

For Power Up and Power Down events, we'll be inviting eligible customers from next week. If you're eligible, but don't have marketing consent, you won't receive an email but can sign up through Beyond.

Customers who took part in the last trial that have been auto-enrolled (we'll email you as well next week), won't have to sign up again as they'll automatically be entered into the trial.

I don’t know about any email, I haven’t had one here.

However check your Beyond app.

There is a ”Fancy a new challenge” invitation in the Power Move section of my App today.
Taping it gives me this:

Thanks for reply, Nukecad.

I got an email at start of June to say that because I had taken part in last PMF my name was on waiting list for new one.  I had thought that it stated on 1 July but I think it is actually 7 July.

I don’t see the “Fancy A New Button” you mention in Beyond.  I suspect that it is inside the Power Move section and I haven’t joined Power Move.

Yes, that invittation is in the PM section and I am joined up there.

I do note that in the first post of this thread it says:

Power Move Flex (Power Up and Power Down events) - Starts 14th July

 

So there’s still a couple of weeks in which you might yet get an emailed invitation?

Thanks.  I see the 14 July date now you have pointed it out.  When the first notice came out it just said in July and assumed it would be from 1st.  I don’t know where I got 7th from.

Hi ​@Ian Turner 

Regular Power Move is already active - check the OVO app for details.

If you’re on Power Move Flex, I think you’ll be contacted around the 14th July with instructions.

Hope this helps

Ian, I have just received an e-mail from OVO Energy regarding the start of the next phase of Power Move Flex. You should hear from them soon. Good luck with achieving the targets. While this can sometimes be difficult to achieve every time you do, you gain. There are no losses if you cannot achieve a target during the specified times.

Hey ​@Ian Turner,

 

Welcome to the community! 

 

Thanks for all your awesome responses! We hope this answered your questions. Since this is a trial, our team will be experimenting with different ways to notify you to see what works best. So, your notification experience might be a little different from others.

I found that two free hours (up to 1kW per hour), which usually are on Sundays for me, make me impossible to participate in the Power Move Flex events. I have already moved my washing to that hours. Unless I’m at home and can do some cooking, during the events, when it’s “up”.
