Households are set to make money by reducing their electricity usage today thanks to a National Grid scheme.
It is the first time the Demand Flexibility Service (DFS) scheme will run in a bid to reduce the risk of blackouts amid a cold snap. From 5pm to 6pm today (January 23), eligible customers will receive money off on their bills for reducing electricity usage during peak hours.
National Grid will decide on Monday afternoon whether the DFS will be in effect tomorrow.
