British Gas confirms details of scheme to pay people to save electricity

British gash has confirmed that it will be one among many suppliers to pay customers that reduce their electricity-usage.

The energy supplier said that it hoped 100,000 customers would sign up as it launches the demand flexibility service for the housholds it supplies. It recently became the latest (and largest) supplier to sign up to the National Grid scheme. Despite this, it falls short of fellow supplier Octopus Energy which has signed up more than 400,000 customers to its version of the scheme.

British Gas also confirmed that customers that have smart meters installed in their home will be sent an email, inviting them to partake in the scheme.
