Overview
- Octopus Energy has scheduled Free Electricity Sessions for Octoplus members from 9–10pm on Friday, October 24, and from 12–3pm on Saturday, October 25.
- Uswitch is offering a total of 25 free hours in November for anyone with a compatible smart meter, with enrollment required in the Uswitch app by midnight on October 31.
- Participants in the Uswitch programme pick a five‑hour weekend slot each week in November, after which usage is calculated and credited to an in‑app Earn balance that can be withdrawn to a bank account.
- Octopus ties complimentary power to periods when wholesale prices fall, with current promotions including more than £200,000 in prizes and an EV draw unlocked after a free‑power milestone.
- The offers arrive as typical annual bills rise to £1,755 with the October price cap increase, and as many households report elevated energy debt.
