Blog2022 ≫ Results are in for last week's eco hour

Hi Paul,

Thanks for being part of our Saving Sessions last week. Here’s a quick look at the difference your efforts made:

You saved 0.931kWh on 30th November, and 0.579kWh on 1st December. That's earned you 2728 OctoPoints – worth £3.41. Together, Octopus customers saved 443MWh of electricity. That’s like all the homes in Leicester and Brighton going off-grid for an hour, saving around 111,122kg of CO2 emissions.

My energy bill is already super low, been making people jealous with it. Not sure how it is so low. I was already in credit before the bill came in:

4th November 2022 - 5th December 2022

Your previous balance: £463.28

  1. Charges on your account (Inclusive of VAT) Electricity: -£103.96
  2. Credit on your account HM Government Discount Energy Bills Support Scheme: +£67.00
  3. Payments you've made Direct Debit collection - 1st December 2022: +£142.38

Your new balance: £568.70

...and now we're even more in credit. This can't last, but it'll be good to have a buffer when the bills go up again.
