Just got this email today from my electricity supplier. 4 free hours of electricity on Christmas morning. I have signed up and look forward not only to cooking dinner for free, but charging our solar panel batteries and using our 2 space heaters to heat the house that morning - forecast is for a frost.
Hi Alan,
In many ways, 2020 has been a year to forget.
But we think you deserve a thank you.
This year, you’ve been part of an unprecedented global shift to renewable energy. I’ve included a few epic stats for you at the bottom of this email.
To say thanks, we’re offering Octopus customers with an eligible smart meter 4 hours free 100% renewable electricity to cook your turkey on Christmas Day, or just to celebrate — in whatever way you see fit.
How does it work?
Click this link to let us know you’d like to join in before 11:59pm on December 24th. We’ll need your permission to access the half-hourly readings from your smart meter. (You may have given us this before, but we’ll ask again just to make things easier logistically.)
Go about your day, and enjoy yourself. Casually drop some truth bombs about the green energy revolution into small talk. We’ll measure how much electricity you use between 8am-12pm this Friday automatically.
We’ll automatically credit your account before the end of January. If we can’t retrieve your readings for whatever reason within 7 days, we’ll credit you with the average amount of all participants instead.
That’s it! Just remember to let us know you want to join in before 11:59pm on December 24th.
