British Gas and E.ON customers can save money on bills by switching off appliances this evening
The National Grid ESO has confirmed that a Demand Flexibility Scheme test will go underway from this afternoon into the evening.
It also provides an incentive for households to reduce the amount of electricity they use at peak times to help reduce stress on the national grid. Under the scheme, suppliers can pay their customers to turn off power-hungry appliances such as washing machines and tumble dryers. A test run for the scheme and its effectiveness will take place from 5pm this evening until 7pm. While National Grid is managing the project, it is up to individual energy suppliers to sign up to it which will allow their customers to benefit.
A British Gas spokesperson said: “We will be contacting the customers in our Peak Save scheme to let them know they have the option to take part in this saving event. The electricity grid is facing increased pressure and smart technology will play a key role in managing peak demand.
