Coming soon: Power Move
Rewards for greener habits
You can soon join the Power Move challenge to use your energy at greener times of day. You’ll get money off your energy bills and help take the pressure off the grid.
Changes for the better
Did you know that between the peak hours of 4pm to 7pm on weekdays, there are high levels of demand on the energy grid? This means the UK’s renewable energy doesn’t go as far, and so dirtier carbon-heavy fossil fuel gets used to fill the gap.
Power Move is about rewarding you for using energy in a way that’s better for the planet. That doesn’t mean using any less energy. Instead, we challenge you to use energy at greener times of the day – in return for credit on your energy bill.

It all adds up
A Power Move challenge might see you drying your hair a little later, timing the washing machine or dishwasher to run earlier, and choosing to charge your laptop (or even an electric car) at off-peak times like the early morning or overnight.
It’s a great way to rely less on fossil fuels – while reducing your energy bills. And if we all make small changes to our energy use together, we’ll make a bigger difference to our collective carbon footprint. A big step on the Path to Zero!

How it works
You can join a Power Move challenge if you’re an OVO pay monthly and on demand customer with a smart meter that’s sending half-hourly readings. If you haven't already, you can easily switch to half hourly reads through your online account.
We often set new challenges. But the goal is always to move your energy use to times of the day when the grid is greener. With rewards if you keep sticking to your new and improved energy habits.

Coming soon: Our 1st challenge
We challenge you to move your non-essential electricity to a different time of day, and only use 12.5% or less of your electricity during peak hours of 4pm-7pm. For example, using the washing machine in the morning or waiting later in the evening to put the dishwasher on.
Your reward? £10 a month
Did you know? The average household uses 18% of their electricity at peak times – as shown by our own smart data.
