Short Notice of Power Move Flex Events

Two hours notice is way too little, I don’t have the time to sit and monitor my emails constantly therefore by the time I see the notification either the event is already over or I’ve already used the appliances that day so I can’t participate.

The timing is too short and doesn’t take into account people’s lifestyles. Emails come in about 7am or 8am. Unless I am wfh it’s not enough notice (assuming I ever see them in time). 
 

Why can't we have more notice of upcoming Power Ups? I just now - 1730 hrs - received notice of this evening's. Had I known this morning, there are several activities I could have saved until then, but now they are done.

IIRC it’s currently decided by National Grid rather than OVO due to the CrowdFlex Project.

OVO can’t change it until at least after the end of the current project that powers PMF.

I know what you mean sometimes you get notice early of these events. and other times you don’t. l can’t always opt in for these events. sometimes l am work.

I only saw the notice when I had done all my chores. It's very annoying 

How to Set a calendar reminder for the event (Power Move Flex event)? 

I would suggest here just set a reminder in your favourite App or an alarm on your phone as a reminder. The power move flex events are usually short notice so this would be the easiest way to remind yourself of a forthcoming event.

I didn't even see the notification until the next day! I am finding it almost impossible to fit in with these events

It's a National Grid trial to see how people manage with different response times. It enables them to work out the Demand Side Flexibilty for a grid that has more renewables than it has ever had before. DSF is a key component to Net Zero targets. Here's a peek into what is going on in the background.
