A Simple Way to Save Up to £10 – No Switching Needed**

Christmas Day is one of the most energy-heavy days of the year — ovens blasting, gadgets charging, lights on all day. But this year, Uswitch are literally paying you back for the electricity you use on 25th December.

If you join their free Power Hours scheme, Uswitch will refund the cost of the electricity you use between 8am and 4pm on Christmas Day, up to £10 cash. You don’t need to switch energy provider — you just need a smart meter and the Uswitch app.

This is genuine free money and takes less than two minutes to set up.

How the Free Electricity Offer Works

Uswitch are running this as part of their Power Hours energy-earning scheme. Here’s what you need to do:

1️⃣ Download the free Uswitch app & connect your smart meter

Available on the App Store and Google Play.
Connecting your smart meter takes under 2 minutes.

2️⃣ Sign up to Power Hours by 21 December

This is completely free. New users join during setup.
Existing users just need to open the app and activate the Christmas Day offer.

3️⃣ Use electricity between 8am–4pm on Christmas Day

Cook Christmas dinner, charge new gadgets, warm the house — do whatever you normally do.

Uswitch will use your smart meter data to calculate how much electricity you used in this 8-hour window and refund you the cost (up to £10). The money arrives in your Power Hours earnings and can be withdrawn to your bank in January.
