As energy bills are set to soar, an energy company will offer homes to earn back some money in a new trial.
Customers will be given the chance to earn cash by cutting their power use down by between 40 and 60 percent below normal levels during a set two-hour period.
In a scheme by Octopus Energy and National Green, customers could be asked to delay a laundry cycle or a dishwasher load when demand on the UK’s power grid typically climbs, such as between 9am and 11am and again between 4.30pm and 6.30pm, as reported by the Guardian.
