British Gas customers will have the opportunity tonight to get money back on their energy bills due to a National Grid scheme.
Customers can help the National Grid save electricity while earning credit by taking part in the Peak Save scheme, which is part of a country-wide effort to ease the strain on the UK's energy grid at peak times. It is hoped that this will allow everyone in the country to get the electricity they need.
It is part of a wider scheme by the National Grid Electricity System Operator (ESO) known as the Demand Flexibility Service (DFS) which will run its first live service later this evening from 5pm to 6pm. According to British Gas, those taking part in Peak Save can earn £20 towards their bills - the equivalent of six days of free electricity (depending on average use).
