People told to turn off TVs, lights, washing machines and heating at 5pm TONIGHT

Homeowners are being told to turn their lights off at 5pm this evening - in a bid to cash in on their energy bills during the National Grid’s Demand Flexibility Service (DFS) event.

It means households across the UK can earn rewards and save by reducing their energy usage between 5-6pm tonight.

Small changes like bathing or showering later in the evening, prepping family meals in the afternoon and playing board games rather than watching TV during the DFS hours can make a significant difference to your bills.
