Apparently, you have to be invited to join PMP but then have to opt in to each event.

Not sure why Ovo need three separate schemes (inc. Shift and Save) with three separate sign ups, forum groups etc.. Can't you make life a bit simpler for us please with just one sign up, auto-enrol for each event with the option to opt out and just one forum group!

Hi @Simon 1402

The Power Move scheme is specific to ovo so ovo are free to decide on the rules for the scheme.

The Power Move Plus scheme is OVOs version of an industry wide scheme, so OVO have to abide by the scheme rules. https://www.nationalgrideso.com/industry-information/balancing-services/demand-flexibility-service-dfs

You don't have to sign up to Power Move Plus to take part in the Demand Flexibility Service. There are more generous ways if money is important. OVO keep 20% of what you earn. Uswitch for example pass on 100%

It obviously depends on whether you want the complexity of signing up via uswitch for the scheme.

No notification yet, at 12:40. OVO are either not taking part, or they’re cutting it exceeding fine.
