Households earn money off their energy bills

[Sandra]

National Grid ESO is activating its first test event for the Demand Flexibility Service this winter tonight
Households could earn money off their energy bills, if they cut electricity usage this evening.

Some 1.4 million businesses and households have so far signed up to take part in the service, known as the Demand Flexibility Service, which aims to manage electricity supply through periods where margins are tight.

Eligible customers could be rewarded if they shift their electricity usage to outside of the window tonight, on November 29.

Tonight's test event will be staggered across providers, with some asked to participate between 5-6pm and others between 5.30pm-6.30pm.
