With the cost of living crisis still upon us, many households across the UK are trying to save money where they can. Well, some can save money today by turning off their gas and electricity.
Households signed up to the National Grid's Demand Flexibility Scheme (DFS) can save money by switching off outside of peak hours. Today's event asks for people to switch-off between 5pm and 6pm.
It has been estimated that households signed up to the scheme could save up to £100, by taking part in the 12 'demonstration tests' that are run throughout the year. If your energy provider participates in the scheme and you have a smart meter, then you may be eligible to apply.
