Octopus Saving Sessions
Octopus saving sessions is a great way to earn credit or cash and help save the planet at the same time. To join in the sessions you need to join the Octoplus scheme. You can earn Octopoints by shifting or saving as much electricity as you can during a Saving Session.
Octopus will notify you of the saving session by email, App or, when there is very short notice, by a WhatsApp group text. You must accept the invitation in order to participate. If you participate and don’t save energy there is no penalty and you may win Octopoints in the draw.
Participants don’t need to actually save energy, you just need to shift usage out of the session hours, usually between 5pm-6pm. Octopus compares your usage during the saving session with your average usage during the previous 10 days during the same time frame, previous session days will be excluded.
Can you really save money by joining Octopus Saving Sessions? Yes you can, and for me it was really easy, all I did was to turn off all unnecessary appliances for an hour or so (sometimes I was not at home so those were really easy).
How much did I earn? As you can see from my results, for seven Saving Sessions I saved 5 kWh which is £1.36 worth of electricity BUT Octopus paid me a whopping £14.07 which equates to 52 kWh so they paid me 10x what I saved (or moved).
At the end of these Octopus saving sessions customers saved (or moved) a total of 711,821kWh , which probably prevented firing up a coal burning generating station during those evenings. I would highly recommend a friend to join Octopus saving sessions.
