Energy supplier OVO will join a National Grid scheme which could see its customers with smart meters earn up to £100.
From next week, OVO customers participating in the National Grid's Demand Flexibility Scheme can reduce their energy usage during peak hours whenever the operator sends out an alert requesting they do so.
The trial will see three types of notification, two of which will be exclusive to OVO customers and will alert participants of the days and times the grid is most likely to see demand.
