I easily hit my targets each day and get the £15 credit. Mainly because I live alone and chnage my lifestyle to match the target. But what happens if I achieve the target each day excoet one. EG someone comes for tea and I use the kettle, microwave, etc so my usage 4-7 is much higher than normal. Do OVO stick rigidly to daily targets being achieved or is it avergae use over the week or month, Thanks

Is Power Move calculated by meeting the target every day, or a cumulative total from all days through out the target time?

Our Power Move peak times have changed to 5pm - 7pm weekdays. If you hit the saving targets you’ll be entered into a prize draw with a chance of winning some great prizes (the top prize is a year’s free energy!). You can learn more and sign up here, and visit our FAQ’s page here.
Hi
As the volunteers have mentioned, the target is a running total target - so it does mean there may be days where you can’t move usage outwith the Power Move timeframe, but you can still get the over all Power Move target.

It’s averaged out over the month.
If you smash the target every day except for one, chances are you’ll still get the reward.

I can and do occasionally go as high as 20% on a particular day.
As the others have said it averages out over all of the weekdays in a month, so the odd day or more exceeding the 13.5% target is not a problem.
As long as most weekdays you are below target by a decent amount then having one or two ‘excess’ days will be swallowed up and averaged out overall.

I must admit sometimes it is hard especially if you have to cook maybe certain time like meat. you don’t want to wait till seven that would take longer in oven. dinner would be later. l know then you not using to much energy. can’t win either.

We’re really into pedant territory here. It all depends on what you mean by “It’s averaged over the month” and “aggregated figures”.
To find the average of a series of figures, find the aggregate of those figures (i.e. add them together) and divide the result by the number of figures in the series.
To find the average ratio between two series of the same number of figures (as in this case), you have two choices which give the same result:
- Find the aggregate of each series, then divide one aggregate by the other to find the average ratio between them.
- Find the average value of each series, then divide one average value by the other to find the ratio between the averages.
What you can’t do to give a meaningful result is to work out the ratio between each pair of values, then find the fictitious ‘average ratio’.
