Octopus Energy’s Saving Sessions are time-limited demand-reduction events that sit alongside its wider smart-tariff and rewards ecosystem, competing with similar “flexibility” schemes from other UK suppliers. This one runs 8–9pm today and offers 137 Octopoints for cutting your electricity use during the hour, compared with your usual baseline. It’s not a gadget or tariff switch; it’s a one-off incentive for shifting consumption away from a peak period.

How do you actually earn the Octopoints?

You’re rewarded for using less power than you normally would in that window, so the biggest wins come from moving high-draw tasks out of 8–9pm rather than just switching off a couple of lights. Think delaying the dishwasher, tumble dryer, immersion heater, or charging, and keeping cooking to lower-energy options if you can.

• Time window: 8–9pm today — plan ahead so appliances don’t kick in mid-session.
• Reward: 137 Octopoints — only applies if your usage drops versus your baseline.
