Power Move - spring challenge

Always washing at 30 degrees doesn’t do much for the washing machine. It needs an occasion 60 degree wash to clear out the tubes! I do this when the electricity generation CO2 levels are low, ie when there’s plenty of wind powering the grid.

If you’ve already joined a challenge you should now automatically be added to the next challenge and any future challenges. So you shouldn’t need to remember to join any future challenges to enjoy the benefits of Power Move.

I’ll raise this to the team @GrumpyTrucker 

I’ve had a response from the team:

Potential reasons that a customers wouldn't be auto-enrolled:

• Invalid Meter Read Frequency (non-commuicating meter)
• No Smart Meter
• Incorrect Payment Mechanism (moved to PAYG)
• No longer allowing half-hourly reads

The eligibility criteria of Power Move is applied for auto-enrolment, so it may be that a meter is non-communicating at the point of auto-enrolment, in which case they would not be eligible to auto-enrol onto the next challenge. Customers in this scenario will be sent an invite invitation where they can click through and if their meter has started communicating again, they will have the option to sign up to the next challenge. 

Anyone else finding the hours 6pm to 9pm impractical if you actually cook dinner when you finish work?

The 4pm to 7pm was at least more practical. 

I find this slot easier, working from home.

No lights needed in the evening and I can put my airfryer on 5.30pm.    All I have on 6 til 9pm is my tv

Yes, 6-9 pm means it's taking the whole of my evening out after I am back from work. This means I am moving cooking dinner after 9 so sleep late, wake up without a proper sleep. 

5-8 would have made a bit more sense. Sure summer has more light, but people generally stay with the same times in summer and winter. 

I didn't realise the times had changed 😫 that makes sense for why I'm so massively off so far this month 

This is the first month I am not on track to get the full cashback😕 which is really annoying given that my standing charges are higher than my energy use. Guess someone has to pay for the free EV charging points

Free EV charging points? 

Count your blessings. This time last year, I was on a shared electricity meter with a shop. Yes, you read that right. I was living in a 1 bedroom flat and the shop below me were basically taking the p**i*ss, I could name and shame them but I’m not like that. They weren’t paying their share towards the bill for what they were using. Not even half. The bill was in my name because the shop was unoccupied when i moved there. I put up with this situation for over 2 years but finally moved home because I’d had a gutsful - and this occurred when the cost of living crisis was happening with increased bills. The electric bill was coming to £300 per month and I struggled with this for over 2 years. They were not prepared to help the situation. I moved home and am now paying around £45 per month for electric. So, those muppets were costing me around £250 per month and their contribution towards the bill was pitiful. I also couldn’t do these Power Move challenges because they were using stupid amounts of electricity in the shop 24 hours a day. Rant over. Don’t ever take up tenancy where there is a shared meter.
