Get Up to £10 of Free Electricity This Early May Bank Holiday

on
If you’ve got a smart meter, there’s a simple way to cut your energy costs this bank holiday — and it doesn’t involve switching suppliers.

Thanks to a special promotion from Uswitch, you can get up to £10 worth of electricity refunded over the early May bank holiday weekend.

🔌 How the Offer Works

This isn’t a gimmick or a complicated tariff change. Instead, it’s part of Uswitch’s “Power Hours” scheme.

Here’s the key detail:

👉 You can choose one day over the early May bank holiday weekend
👉 Use electricity between 8am and 4pm
👉 Get the cost of that usage refunded (up to £10)

So whether you pick the Saturday, Sunday, or the bank holiday Monday, you’ve got a generous 8-hour window to make the most of it.

✅ Who Can Take Part?

One of the best things about this deal is how flexible it is.

You can take part if:
✅ You have a working smart meter
✅ You’re in the UK
✅ You connect your meter through the Uswitch app


And importantly…

👉 It doesn’t matter who your energy supplier is

Customers of Utility Warehouse can take part just as easily as anyone else — along with customers from any other supplier.

No switching. No disruption. No catch.

📱 How to Claim Your Free Electricity

Getting set up only takes a few minutes:

1. Download the Uswitch app
2. Connect your smart meter
3. Join the “Power Hours” scheme
4. Opt into the bank holiday offer
5. Choose your day and use electricity between 8am and 4pm

That’s it — Uswitch does the rest.

💡 What Should You Use It For?

Since you’ve got a clear time window, it’s worth planning ahead to maximise your savings.

Here are some ideas:
  • Do your washing and tumble drying
  • Batch cook meals for the week
  • Run the dishwasher
  • Charge devices, power banks, or even an EV
  • Use electric heating or hot water systems if needed
Basically, shift as much of your usual usage into that 8am–4pm window as possible.

⚠️ Things to Keep in Mind
  • The maximum you can earn back is £10
  • You’ll still pay your normal energy bill — the refund comes separately
  • You must opt in and connect your smart meter in advance

🎯 Why This Is Worth Doing

In a time where energy costs are still a big concern, this is one of the easiest wins available:

✔ No need to switch suppliers

✔ Works with all providers

✔ Takes minutes to set up

✔ Real cashback (not points or vouchers)

✔ Flexible — you choose the day


📝 Final Thoughts

Getting up to £10 of free electricity for simply shifting when you use power is about as easy as it gets.

If you’ve already got a smart meter, there’s really no reason not to take advantage — especially since it works regardless of whether you’re with Utility Warehouse or any other supplier.

A small bit of planning over the bank holiday could mean a nice little saving — and in today’s world, every bit helps.
