How's it calculated?
You earned OctoPoints per every unit of ⚡️ you save vs what you normally use (1,800 🐙 per kwh, but very watt counts!)
What's normal? We look at the same period of time for the previous 10 weekdays to work our your normal energy use.
Thanks so much for proving small drops make an ocean. We’ll be back to save again soon — look out for the odd Free Electricity session this summer (if you’re in Octoplus, you’ll hear about them).

look across the country? The areas that saved the most total (in megawatt hours) were:
1. Birmingham
2. Nottingham
3. Sheffield
4. Bristol
5. Newcastle Upon Tyne
There’s more national rankings on our blog. See how your area did:

It can take up to 14 days for us to fully connect to your meters post installation (there's some behind the scenes work we need to do first). It's a little early to join in with this session but do keep an eye out for future events with your new smart meter 😎⚡🐙
