Octopus Octoplus free summer energy sessions don't forget to sign up

QrizB

Negative pricing on Agile again tomorrow. I guess we'd have been told by now if there was going to be another free energy session?

Got an email saying as I am signed up I dont need to do anything, seems different to the normal saving sessions, but I guess these are the regional ones that never affect my area?

These are not regional and you do not have to do anything to sign-up if you had signed-up last year, you do need to do something if you want to benefit from them though...

My email only gives me the offer of a free charge. I preferred the previous version where the whole has was free for the period. Gave the opportunity to charge batteries, run the immersion and run an oven cleaning cycle amongst other things. Disappointed!

This time it isn't aimed at those on IOG/IOF tariffs.

Do you think that might change?  Surely once they’ve set this precedent why would they change back for us IOG/IOF users?

Re-Read the email...👍

During the session, just keep your Intelligent device plugged in, and let our smart schedule do its thing. As long as you do, we'll credit you for an hour's free charging – even if your schedule doesn't actually charge you up during the session.

Both ours were already at 100%, so just plugged one in & set a schedule....
Expect the 49p for the non use.

Mine did charge, alongside the sole giving it some as well. Kinda wish I hadn’t bothered for 50p really.

'let our smart schedule do its thing' can be read as complete a charge session, so it remains to be seen if no charge will get you the 50p...

I'm not expecting it to change in future, these sessions are not aimed at smart tariff users.
