Win Free Power with Shift to Win!
We’re excited to introduce Shift to Win – a rewarding way to be in to win free power credits!
Here’s how it works
When there’s a period of high demand or network constraint, we’ll give you a heads-up. If you can shift your power use or net export generation during that time, you’ll go in the draw to win 1 of 5 x $50 power credits – easy as that!
Why? Pressure on the network is highest when usage peaks. By shifting energy use away from times of high demand, we can help reduce strain on the network. Because when we work together it eases pressure on the electricity supply– and we reckon that deserves a reward. Shift to win is part of Orion's Resi-flex trials, more information about the trials can be found here.
Getting involved is simple
We’ll email you before each Shift to Win event, around 4 will be called this winter.
You choose whether you want to take part – no pressure!
If you shift your usage during the event, you’re in the draw to win.
FAQs
We’ll aim to email you the night before for morning sessions, and by the morning for afternoon sessions. You’ll get a heads-up with all the details.
We’ll look at your historical smart meter data leading up to a Shift to Win session, and calculate what you usually use at that time of day, on average.
If the Shift to Win session is on a weekday, we’ll look at your half-hourly usage over the last 10 weekdays (excluding Shift to Win sessions). If the Session is on a weekend, we’ll look at your half hourly usage over the last 4 weekend days.
We will then use these half-hourly averages as a benchmark to compare against your Shift to Win session.
Shift to Win is a new initiative. Unlike Saving Sessions (where rewards depend on how much you save), Shift to Win is a prize draw – where shifting any usage gets you an entry to win!
No worries! Shift to Win is all about doing what you can. No pressure, no penalties. Even small changes or exporting a little generation during an event helps.
