For the second day in a row, chosen households all across the country will have the opportunity to earn some cash by not using their electricity tonight.
It comes after the National Grid Electricity System Operator ran its first-ever live service of the Demand Flexibility Scheme (DFS) on Monday evening. According to the grid operator, some businesses and households will be asked to turn off their appliances for an hour or two tonight to help ease pressure on the national grid supply.
Tuesday's sessions will run between 4.30pm and 6pm tonight, according to the ESO. The country-wide effort was cooked up by the National Grid to reduce strain on the UK's energy grid at peak times and is hoped that it will allow everyone in the country to get the electricity they need.
