Power Move - Shifting Peak Usage Into Weekends

Hi everyone,

 

This week we sent out your July mid-month update for the Power Move Summer Challenge.

 

As we’ve had a couple of questions about this challenge, we wanted to remind you that weekends are included in the calculations as off-peak times. This means you can shift your peak consumption (6pm-9pm Monday-Friday) into Saturdays and Sundays.

 

We want to thank you again for all of your effort with Power Move. Together we can help ease the demand on the grid, and change the future of energy.

 

Thanks

The OVO team

    I’m quite surprised to be told I haven’t reached my power down target for July when I’ve been out of the country since 7th of the month, with appliances off except for fridge and plugs detached.

    You shouldn't be surprised it's not about how much you use but when you use it. You're usage would have been constant accross the day so as a % your peak time usage would be no different to your off peak usage. Just got my email and we have only used 3.73% at peak time 6-9

    Hey @Lpen,

     

    I hope you’ve had a nice time away 😊

     

    @fancyabrew, is correct in advising that it's about moving energy usage from peak to off-peak times. Not using any energy during this time would impact the result. 

    Renewable energy jokes never get old.
