Major energy supplier to give away FREE electricity today – here's when to use your appliances
A MAJOR energy supplier is giving millions of customers free electricity today. Octopus Energy customers can enjoy an hour of free usage between 2pm and 3pm this afternoon. 1 To take part, you need to be an Octopus Energy customer and signed up to OctoPlus, its rewards scheme. You'll also need a smart meter that sends half-hourly readings. During these hour-long "Saving Sessions," any electricity you use beyond your normal consumption will be free. For example, if you typically use 1kWh of electricity during that hour, any extra usage - whether it's charging devices, running the washing machine, or boiling the kettle - will be credited back to your account. All customers with a smart meter, including prepay ones, will receive an alert the day before each session. When the session starts, you can ramp up your electricity use to maximise savings. The big question is, how much can you actually save? According to Ofgem, a typical household uses between eight and 10kWh of electricity per day. On Octopus Energy's standard variable tariff, electricity costs roughly 27p per kWh. So if you use 1kWh more electricity during a free electricity session, your account will be credited with 27p. The bizarre reason my smart meter won't work & I miss out on cheaper bills If you use 2kWh extra, you'll get 54p, and for 3kWh extra, you'll receive 81p. The more you use, the more you save. For example, if you were to use 5kWh of electricity during the free hour - by running your laundry, dishwasher, kettle, cooker, and hoover - you'd be credited with £1.35. Of course the exact amount you'll earn from taking part in the scheme will depend on the unit rate charged on your tariff and how much extra energy you use during each session. How do I calculate my energy bill? BELOW we reveal how you can calculate your own energy bill. To calculate how much you pay for your energy bill, you must find out your unit rate for gas and electricity and the standing charge for each fuel type. The unit rate will usually be shown on your bill in p/ standing charge is a daily charge that is paid 365 days of the year - irrespective of whether or not you use any gas or electricity. You will then need to note down your own annual energy usage from a previous bill. Once you have these details, you can work out your gas and electricity costs separately. Multiply your usage in kWh by the unit rate cost in p/kWh for the corresponding fuel type - this will give you your usage costs. You'll then need to multiply each standing charge by 365 and add this figure to the totals for your usage - this will then give you your annual costs. Divide this figure by 12, and you'll be able to determine how much you should expect to pay each month from April 1. What do other supplier's offer? British Gas British Gas ' Peak Save Sundays scheme offers millions of customers half-price electricity for using their energy during certain hours. It offers qualifying customers half price electricity between 11am and 4pm every Sunday.

After that, your savings will appear as "PeakSave Credit" on your next energy bill or online statement. Be aware that you can only sign up to the scheme if you have a smart credit or prepayment meter that can send half-hourly meter readings. If you don't have a smart meter, don't worry, British Gas will install one for free in your home. EDF Energy EDF is brought back its popular Sunday Saver challenge this summer, offering customers a chance to slash their bills by earning free electricity.

However, customers must have signed up before 11.59pm on Sunday, June 1 to take part in the latest scheme. Next Next is giving new and existing customers free electricity on every bank holiday until March 2026. The next one is the August bank holiday on August 25. Next said its offer could save households £3.50 every bank holiday - which would save you around £21 over the course of a year. To get the deal you need to be signed up for the supplier's Pledge tariff. Ovo Energy Ovo Energy offers customers the chance to win free energy if they reduce their consumption during peak times. The Power Move offer gives customers the chance to win up to £2,000 of free energy if they use 85% or more of their energy at off-peak times. For every month a customer's peak energy usage is less than 15% they are entered into a prize draw. Five customers win the top prize of £2,000 worth of energy to use over one year, with 200 winning £50 prizes and 22,850 receiving £2 of free energy. To sign up visit Scottish Power Scottish Power's Power Saver scheme gives customers the chance to access half-price electricity between 11am and 4pm every Saturday and Sunday. Customers need to register to become a Power Saver to have half of the cost of the energy they used during these hours refunded. The supplier will also occasionally launch an ad-hoc Power Saver events during the week. You need to have a smart meter to register to become a Power Saver. To sign up visit: What energy bill help is available? There's a number of different ways to get help paying your energy bills if you're struggling to get by. If you fall into debt, you can always approach your supplier to see if they can put you on a repayment plan before putting you on a prepayment meter. This involves paying off what you owe in instalments over a set period. If your supplier offers you a repayment plan you don't think you can afford, speak to them again to see if you can negotiate a better deal. Several energy firms have schemes available to customers struggling to cover their bills. But eligibility criteria vary depending on the supplier and the amount you can get depends on your financial circumstances. For example, British Gas or Scottish Gas customers struggling to pay their energy bills can get grants worth up to £2,000. British Gas also offers help via its British Gas Energy Trust and Individuals Family Fund. You don't need to be a British Gas customer to apply for the second fund. EDF, Octopus Energy and Scottish Power all offer grants to struggling customers too. Thousands of vulnerable households are missing out on extra help and protections by not signing up to the Priority Services Register (PSR). The service helps support vulnerable households, such as those who are elderly or ill. Some of the perks include being given advance warning of blackouts, free gas safety checks and extra support if you're struggling. Get in touch with your energy firm to see if you can apply.
