'I've only saved £2 by taking part in the National Grid's energy-saving scheme'

A man from Wales has spoken about what it is like to take part in the National Grid's energy reducing scheme. Lee Morris, 47, and his family from Newport have been taking part in the Demand Flexibility Service (DFS) scheme since November last year.

There will be 12 'energy reduction days' overall, which could see households be rewarded with £100 before the end of March. Homes across the UK will be paid for reducing their energy use for one hour during certain times of the day in order to avoid blackouts.

This week, the DFS Service Requirement was issued for Monday January 23, between 5pm and 6pm. With a few set to take place before the end of March, Lee shared what it had been like for him and his family thus far.
