Hundreds of thousands to be paid not to put electricity on this evening as National Grid deploys emergency scheme
Households across the UK could be paid for reducing their power usage today. It's part of a scheme run by the National Grid called the Demand Flexibility Service
If your energy supplier participates in the scheme and you have a smart meter then you can be eligible to register. Those who are already signed up will receive notification of any live events that could save them money. The National Grid's ESO website states: "If you have signed up to take part in the DFS scheme your electricity provider will contact you before a demonstration test or live event and ask if you want to participate in the following day’s event."
