With soaring bills and the cost of living crisis continuing to impact millions of families across the nation, the Big Power Off has been arranged and is set to take place tonight, Sunday (April 10). Energy bills are key part of the problems that homeowners are facing, as utility companies have announced price increases that will leave many people out of pocket.
The Government's energy strategy was published on Thursday as western countries wrestle with high energy prices and consider how to reduce reliance on Russian oil and gas, amid wider calls to end the fossil fuel era to tackle dangerous climate change - however some argue that this is not enough to help people struggling with soaring bills now.
In response, people across the UK are being encouraged to spent 10 minutes switching off all devices, according to Berkshire Live. Items that use electricity will be turned off to create an imbalance in the National Grid.
