Energy company OVO is set to pay customers not to use energy between certain times as part of its new trial. The UK's third largest energy supplier is trying to help customers cut usage during peak times and save money.
The trial, called Power Move, will reward its customers up to £100 in total. It rewards those who move non-essential energy use to times when the grid is less congested.
Hull Live reports data from the trial will be used to understand usage during peak times. It will also aim to develop propositions that support a greener, fairer and more resilient energy system.
