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.

Am I the only one who has not had any notification of power up or down this week? Has the trial ended?

Hi ​@Nash98 ,

AFAIK the Summer Challenge has now ended. Keep an eye out for future PMF runs!

I haven’t heard anything about powering up and yet I keep getting emails about results etc!  Why didn’t they send an email to say it has finished for the time being.  When I go on my Ovo App it says I am opted in and have no results!  Glad to hear it has finished for now as I thought I was missing something 😝
