Blog2022 ≫ Eco-hour earned me £1.33

Thanks for being part of our first Saving Session. Together with more than 200,000 other Octopus customers across the country, you just pulled off the largest home energy shift in UK history.

Collectively, you saved enough energy to effectively switch off an entire gas power station throughout the Saving Session.

Here’s a quick look at the difference your efforts made.

You saved 0.589kWh and earned 1064 OctoPoints – worth £1.33. Together, Octopus customers saved 108MWh of electricity. That's a lot of dirty energy the UK didn't have to generate. In fact, it was equivalent to effectively shutting down an entire gas power station throughout the Session. That saved 20,415kg of CO2 emissions.
