Just pull the main trip switch at 5 pm and pretend to everyone at home that this is the way things are for DFS. A few days later you go out to a local cafe and have a latte on the proceeds. I won't tell.

I value my life so I'll just try to delay putting the oven on until 6.30 and maybe suggest we boil a pan of water on the gas hob for a cuppa at any time within the widow. Lights, telly and Christmas trees can stay on... all LEDs so should be ok. If I only get pennies then I just won't bother again and if I fail I'll be ending my posts with ENERGY SHIFT IS A CON!!! 🤣

Mine is the same. They don't quote a value just 20% reduction. So I expect no matter what I save. i'll get just the £1 and they will pocket the rest.

I can work out my average over the last 8 days by downloading the data from Hildebrand Glowmarket. (although is this including or excluding weekends?). With no value I can't validate.

I’ve signed up anyway.

Don't forget that Eon Next need the usage from today before they know what the baseline average is going to be over 8 weekdays (or whatever the weekday count is) for the event period. Perhaps there will be a follow up email on Wednesday with more specific detail on how the 20% translates into actual kWh reduction and what the 20% translates to in money terms.

Excludes weekends and should be 10 days according to the link in a previous post today. No way I can check due to no invite.

I figured that today wouldn’t count. The reason being I could’ve consumed loads on purpose to inflate my average consumption.

Anyway, we’ll see what tomorrow brings 🤞

I hope they are a lot more generous than the energy shift last winter!🤣

@JohnT

Priceless… literally 😂

@JohnT

I too will be earning £0.00 from today's event but there again I've not been invited 😄

I've just downloaded all my data usage in 30 mins increments (and got the 5 - 6.30 of 0.07 kWh. Just went and did the weekly shopping). Once I get a figure from Eon hopefully I can find out what they calculated it on.
