British Gas and Octopus to boost payments for customers saving electricity tonight
Households will get another chance to get paid to switch off their electricity tonight , with both British Gas and Octopus Energy offering a payment boost for customers taking part.
If you manage to reduce your consumption you will be rewarded by your energy provider, which could include money off your next electricity bill. Some suppliers may offer rewards in the form of vouchers. A typical household could have potentially saved around £100 this winter by participating in each demonstration test offered.
The supplier has already been doubling payments for those taking part this winter, but it is set to triple the payments made to customers for tonight's event, which will go towards credit on your energy bill. “The electricity grid is facing increased pressure and smart technology will play a key role in managing peak demand. During this trial we are testing how we can use this scheme to reduce consumption whilst having the added benefit of helping customers save on their energy bills."
