Hi @cmccullie - safe to assume you accepted the invite for yesterday’s S&S event? If you have, I’d expect you to hear if you hit the target or not the day after an event. Have you received anything?

We’ll be sharing the stats from this trial, @Birnie - things like amount of carbon saved, kWhs shifted all sorts!

From reading this, it appears a customer service rep mislead me.
She told me, once I was on the scheme, I did not need to accept / reply or anything each time a new trial day is run.
From the postings above, it appears, I have to accept everyone. Which does against what I was told.

Once again, more confusion about this scheme. Im guessing it was a great headlne for the gvt, they do seem to like them. Whilst making it a difficult as possible by not making it everything clear.
Ive never seen the rules, only a few comments in the initial feedback.
Also I know I am in the scheme, but have no idea if I have achieved any targets or saved anything yet.
It comes down to yet again, poor to no communication from OVO and / or the govt.

Hello Shift and Save Forum,

I have not received an invitation from OVO to join Shift and Save, but I would like to do so.

On my OVO portal (in my account) I do not see a tab or button or any other way to volunteer to trial shift and save. 

Can anyone advise me how to volunteer for this trial?    I have a smart meter (have had for four years or so) and comply with all the small print.

 

I look forward to receiving any advice.

Hi @willskiff ,

I’m really sorry but there’s no spaces available for OVO Shift & Save as it’s now full. OVO selected and invited all eligible customers a couple of months ago.

As far as I’m aware, pretty much all other similar schemes are also fully subscribed so you probably won’t be able to access any of them now.

Just registered for S&S forum, when reading Q&As it says I will be notified my performance after each trial, this has not happened, no communication from OVO 

That does sound strange. Perhaps we can flag @Emmanuelle_OVO to review for you

I’ve had an email after all the shift and save events telling me how much I saved and if I hit my target
