You can pick a time slot that works best for you, as long as it’s outside of busy hours, and you’ll need to sign up through the OVO app or your account.

From May 5, 2025, OVO Energy is giving everyone two hours of free electricity every week as part of its OVO Beyond rewards scheme. This offer runs through the summer until August 31.
Other energy companies are doing similar things to help people save money and ease pressure on the power grid. British Gas, for example, has a deal where electricity is half price on Sundays. EDF also offers free electricity on Sundays if customers use less energy during the week.
Make the most of this!
It’s a smart idea to store electricity when it’s free and use it later. That’s where something like the EcoFlow RIVER 3 comes in handy. It’s a small and portable battery that can store power and be used when needed. It holds enough energy to run small appliances and can be expanded with an extra battery for more power. It also charges up really fast and it would even be as simple as getting to power up your laptop on the balcony this summer. Or a work from home day (at the Forbury).
By using these kinds of energy deals along with a portable power station, you can save money and use energy more wisely. It’s a simple way to take control of your power use and help the planet at the same time.
