The promotion is part of the energy giant’s Beyond rewards programme. Each week, customers can choose when to use their free electricity from a variety of weekday and weekend time slots.
The following time slots will be available to choose from each week:
- 9am-10am on specified weekdays
- 1pm-2pm on specified weekdays
- 9pm-10pm on specified weekdays
- 10am-12pm Sundays
Customers are able to choose the time they use the two free hours of electricity from week to week, meaning they can pick a time slot that works around their routine.
The available time slots aim to avoid peak hours to help reduce pressure on the grid. During peak hours, there’s often not enough renewable energy to go around, which can result in fossil fuels being used to fill the gap.

How to get free electricity
To take part in the offer, Ovo customers need to opt into the Beyond rewards programme through their Ovo account or app, with free electricity hours available as one of several personalised rewards.
The free hours offering will run from 5 May to 31 August, and customers can sign up before the promotion begins.
Gráinne Regan, head of Beyond at Ovo, said: “We launched Beyond to help lower bills and reward our customers for taking greener action. So whether people choose to get ahead on meal prep, make a dent in the laundry or charge up the iPad, we want to help cut costs by giving two free hours of electricity every week this summer.”
