Octopus Power Ups and Free Energy Sessions

Just received an email from Octopus:

Saving Sessions - the energy saving scheme where we pay you to use less power - is back, but with a lower reward. Read more and tell us if you want to take part.
What's the deal with Saving Sessions this year?


NESO has just relaunched the service behind Saving Sessions, but with some changes. There will be many more events but the rewards for each will typically be 10-25% of the previous value, but may be rather more on occasion.

We're continuing to work with NESO to increase the rates and we'll let you know if they do. Until then, we know lots of you will still be interested, just let us know if you want to take part below.

So with that in mind, would you like to take part?

Yes, every little helps, count me in
Not yet, but keep me in the loop if the reward changes
If you decide to take part we will be back with some more information on the details, for now, here's Kieron with an update on what we know now.

If you click yes above, we'll be in touch soon with details on upcoming sessions. If you're not sure, there's no harm signing up as you can change your mind at any time.

Good to know: Saving Sessions aficionados might be aware that the service has technically started. We'd been holding out for better value, so there's a chance we might end up the missing the first sessions while we regroup.

And finally, to all of you who have taken part to date, thank you. We've seen over 1.6 million of you sign up to our Saving Sessions, saving over £10 million. We're super proud of everything we've achieved together so far.
Love and power,
Kieron @ Octopus Energy

PS. Saving Sessions may be a bit different this year but it won't stop us giving you excellent value in other ways. Check out how we helped customers save on Pink Friday, and take part in future Free Electricity sessions!

I don't get it!. I just checked my account. the last 2 free sessions I got nearly 2 quid from 1 HR of cheap energy. bear in mind my usual usage is zero due to house battery and this was two hrs.
I bump charged the house battery ,and plugged the car in to charge and ran the washer and dish washer....... and I was given 13p.

I used about 20kw extra in that 2 hrs. it cost me way more money than I "saved"

My baselines are always 0. I’ve not bothered with the free sessions due to needing to argue with octopus to get paid.

the others I have been involved with all paid out ok. fingers crossed this gets sorted and is just a smart meter not sending data in time or something

Are you sure you didn’t have IO charging during the baseline period this time?

I specifically avoided this one because I regularly get charge slots in the mornings during that time.
