First invite to BG Peak save

[Deleted User]

I’ve received this email from BG and I want to check if I’ve understood it please. 

So tomorrow, if I get my energy usage down to 0.19 KWh during 6.30 - 7.30 pm, I’ll earn 0.57p . Is that right? 

Thanks

I believe BG do the in-day adjustment (like Octopus and Loop for example) which means they will take the average of the above normal usage for the 3 hours starting 4 hours before the Peak Save session (so 2.30pm to 5.30pm tomorrow) and add that to your base usage for the PS session.  So, for example, if you use 9 kWh extra in those 3 hours then they add 3 kWh to your base, which means that if you cut usage for the hour saving period you could earn over £18.

But if I've got it wrong that BG use In Day Adjustment I would be grateful if somebody could let me know

you have misunderstood.

You have to reduce your usage by 0.19kWh down to 0.45 kWh to receive £0.57, but even with no saving you will get £1 credit just for taking part.

You may have missed out this time as you had to accept offer before midnight.

Ok, thank you so much for explaining this to me. I did sign up for the offer, just out of curiosity, so I can see how much l’ll earn and if it’s worth the time. 

Thanks again

Just to update and close this thread. I’ve participated in two BG peak save sessions, which lasted an hour for each session. 

The first session earned me £5 (£2.50 with double bonus) and the second session earned me £1.92 (£0.64p with triple bonus) I acted in the same way for both sessions, but the second session paid less even with triple bonus. Anyway, I’m not querying the discrepancy, but I don’t think it was really worth it, especially without the added bonus paid.
