Energy giant British Gas has confirmed it will pay UK households to use electricity outside of peak times this winter.
Customers will be reimbursed when using appliances such as dishwashers, washing machines and cookers at night. Those who opt in to the scheme are likely to be asked to reduce electricity use by around 30% between 4pm and 7pm - although final details have yet to been published.
Money Saving Expert has said a trial scheme will launch "later this year", while British Gas is yet to confirm how much customers using the scheme will be able to earn, the Mirror reports.
