Notifications provide you with important service updates to help you track your impact and manage the participation of your appliances - including when a powerDOWN event starts and ends, plus updates on points earned and CO2 saved.
If you want to make sure that you never miss an opportunity to participate in a powerDOWN event, then it is really important to make sure that you have notifications switched on in the app and your device.
Notifications inform our users when to manually switch their appliances off and on at the beginning and end of an event.
They also provide handy updates including post-event summaries that let you know how much energy and CO2 you have saved during an event, plus how many points your appliances have been awarded.
