Saving Settings by Power rewards

#1

Post by cycling_mike »

Many of you are with Octopus and make use of their Saving Sessions. I am with Scottish Power on what has turned out to be a very good fixed rate E7 tariff so their is not much point in changing suppliers.

This has popped up on my Facebook feed https://www.powerrewards.app/

Is this legit? it feels as if I cannot loose, but what do you guys think?

It looks the the same scheme as saving sessions with Octopus via the national grid so I assume if you sign up (if an Octopus customer) you will be disqualified from Octopus saving sessions.

Orange power have signed up to the same National Grid scheme as Octopus and other suppliers.

They say, "we aim for an annual 20/80 split of revenue with our members" so that's marginally better than Octopus who give 75% but they do have bonuses and spot prizes.

If your with a supplier who is not participating in the national grid scheme it might be worthwhile.

I have opted in to Power Rewards, they have had Grid events on Monday 30th (0900 - 1000) and today 31st (1730 - 1830). As my daytime usage is fully from the batteries I have tipped my toe into the scheme by switching load into the in-day adjustment period to see if it generates any result. Not on the scale of any of the Forum Ultras (you know who you are) but will see what happens.
The app says it will take 2-5 days to see the result.
