Power Move Plus has been rebranded as Power Move Flex. It’s an invite only trial where you can earn credit when you shift your energy use to greener times of the day or for allowing OVO to optimise your EV charging with Charge Anytime. You can find out more about Power Move Flex here and in this previous Forum topic:

 

 

To answer some of the questions above about how Power Move Plus works:

Your personal target is worked out using your consumption over the previous 10 weekdays (I think it's 10) during the same time period as the trial.
So if you haven't / don't normally use much during that time period then your target will be low.

Your aim is to use less than your target.
For each kWh less than your target that you use in todays trial you will be rewarded with £3.00

It is pro-rata so using 1kWh less than your target would earn you £3.00.
Using 0.5kWh less than your target would earn you £1.50.
Using 0.1kWh less than your target would earn you £0.30.

Unlike Power Move what you use outside of the trial period is irrelevant to PM+
It's all about using less than you did before during the times of the trial period and only that period.

As todays PM+ period coincides with the Power Move periods then anyone already doing Power Move is going to have a very low target for todays PM+ trial.
Future trials may be for different periods so you may get a more generous target.
But as said if you are a low user anyway then you are not going to get much, if anything, out of PM+

Anyway todays trial period has started.
(I didn’t join in today, I also had a 0.1 kWh target so could only have made 30p and only by switching everything off at the consumer unit for an hour)

Power Move Flex is invite only, however if you’re an OVO customer you can sign up to Power Move. To sign up you need to unlock Beyond in our app for free. Download for iOS or Android. Power Move FAQ’s can be found here, and the T’s and C’s here

I went to my local library.  Not knowing your neighbourhood I really can’t help with that query!
