The cost of living crisis has seen many bills rise including the likes of shopping and energy as people set out to save as much money as they can.
And it's now said that Brits will be paid to use appliances such as washing machines during off-peak hours as part of a new energy scheme with people being encouraged to sign up to the “Demand Flexibility Service” to help avoid blackouts this winter.
The new scheme, according to the Mirror, would see households encouraged to use energy-guzzling devices when there is less demand - generally at night.
