Octoplus Free Electricity Power Tower – Terms and Conditions

Octopus Free Electricity Power Tower – Terms and Conditions

How Do I Take Part?

Make sure you're signed up to Free Electricity via the Octopus app or email.

The first milestone is set at £88,000 of free electricity used. Once this milestone is reached the prize will be unlocked. The next milestone will be announced via the Session notification email, on Octopus Energy’s social media channels, and on the Power Tower online dashboard.

During the Session, simply use more electricity than you usually would during that time period – run appliances, charge devices, cook, do laundry – anything that increases your electricity use safely.

Your usage is automatically tracked by your smart meter – there’s no need to submit readings.

If the total energy usage by all participants meets or exceeds a milestone, the associated prize will be unlocked and either awarded to participants or triggered for charity.

Milestone achievements and prize announcements will be made on Octopus Energy’s social media channels and on the Free Electricity online dashboard, so you can track progress in real-time and see what’s been unlocked.

For prize draws (e.g. physical items or the EV), you’ll earn one entry for every Session you participate in where you use more electricity than your baseline. The more Sessions you participate in and exceed your baseline, the more chances you’ll have to win.
