What counts as a successful Power Down session for Weekend Happy Hours?
For your Power Down session to count as successful and help you to unlock a Weekend Happy Hour, you need to use less electricity than you usually would in at least half an hour of the session.
What do we mean by ‘less than normal’? In simple terms, we look at your historical energy usage to see the average amount of energy you tend to use at the time of the session. If the Session is on a weekday, we’ll look at your half-hourly usage over the last 10 weekdays (excluding Saving Session days and bank holidays). If the Session is on a weekend or bank holiday, we’ll look at your half hourly usage over the last 4 weekend days.
If you use less energy in the first half of the Power Down session, but use the same or more in the second half, this will result in an unsuccessful session, and won’t count towards your Weekend Happy Hours.
