Households could be paid hundreds of pounds for using electricity at off peak times, according to reports.
It has been reported that the National Grid is to increase the amount it pays households for using appliances at certain times. As Hull Live reports, the financial incentive for those who move their power usage away from peak time is set to rise to £3 per kilowatt hour instead of 52p.
This comes in a bid to encourage households to use appliances such as washing machines late at night and result in a saving of £100 over this winter. Recently the National Grid has warned that there could be blackouts in the coming months if gas power plants are not able to keep running due to the energy crisis.
