OVO Energy to give households 2 free hours of electricity
An energy firm has announced it will be giving some of its customers two hours of free electricity every week during the summer.
Customers at OVO Energy will be able to make the most of this deal if they are signed up to its rewards programme, OVO Beyond, which is free to join.
Those who are on the scheme are able to choose the time they use the two free hours of electricity from week to week.
This means they can pick a time slot that works around their routine.
The time slots aim to avoid peak hours to help reduce pressure on the grid.
Customers simply need to sign up for the reward programme through the OVO app or account, the OVO website states.
To be eligible for OVO Beyond, customers must have a smart meter and pay via Direct Debit.
More information on the rewards programme can be found on the website here.
