As the cost of living crisis continues to bite, and temperatures plummet, turning up the heating becomes more of a dilemma. However, there's a chance of saving some cash on energy bills coming up. According to latest reports, the National Grid will run a live event of its Demand Flexibility Service (DFS) tonight, Monday, January 23, which means that participating households who are signed up to the scheme will be offered the chance to cut their bills.
While tests have already been run on the scheme, today's roll-out means that everyone signed up to the scheme could save money if they reduce power usage today between 5pm and 6pm.
The published DFS Service Requirement is open to anyone whose energy supplier has offered them the scheme, and for which they have subsequently signed up to; the Express reports that the service should be available to certain energy customers if they have a smart meter.
