OVO Energy customers can gain £2,000 thanks to a prize draw, the firm has said. OVO is giving energy customers the chance to win prizes, just by using power at greener times of the day. A year’s free energy is up for grabs every month – for at least 5 lucky winners.
OVO said: “Power Move is all about using energy in a way that’s better for the planet. It doesn’t mean using less. You just have to use energy at greener times of the day.
“Because, at peak times, there’s more demand for energy. So it’s harder for the UK to run on renewable power alone. If people use energy at off-peak hours instead, our country shouldn’t need to rely on fossil fuels as much.

“The more power you move, the more chances you have to win.” The star prize is currently set at £2,000 in line with the energy price cap. And it gets awarded as energy credit over 12 months, OVO – which is rivalled by EDF, EON and more – said.
There are five prizes which are a YEAR’S free energy – with £50 going to 200 people and £2 going to 22,850 customers.
OVO said: “So if you win in January, the credit will be added to your bill in February, and every month up to the following January. You won’t get the remaining prize balance if you leave OVO before the last payment.
“Right now, peak hours are between 5pm and 7pm from Monday to Friday.” OVO said: “Imagine your home uses 240 kilowatt hours (kWh) in a month, and 12 kWh during peak times. We work out your peak energy use as a percentage, like this: (12 kWh ÷ 240 kWh) x 100 = 5%
“You’ll enter our prize draw every month your peak energy use is less than 15%. The lower the percentage, the more prize draw entries you earn – and the better your chances of winning.
“Power Move can be as easy as timing the washing machine or dishwasher to run earlier, drying your hair a little later, or charging your laptop or electric car overnight. Going off-peak is a great way to win prizes and help the UK use less power from dirty fossil fuels. If we can make small changes together, we’ll take bigger steps on the Path to Zero.”
