Brits can save £100 off energy bills by using washing machine at night

The National Grid ESO has raised the discount it will offer for Brits who use energy outside of peak hours.

It means that you could save a fortune on your energy bill by not using electric-hungry appliances when average use is at its highest. The discount on offer is now being increased from 52p per kilowatt hour to a whopping £3.

Therefore, you could save on average £100 this winter just by changing the times you use large appliances such as a washing machine or cooker. Brits have previously been warned that they could face three-hour blackouts when temperatures reach their coldest in the coming months, the Mirror reports.
