Households have been warned of power cuts lasting up to three hours at a time if gas supplies run extremely low, and National Grid is hoping the new scheme can, along with other measures, prevent that happening.
The scheme is also open to businesses which could, for example, change production schedules or switch to batteries or generators at peak times. "We can all do our little bit, we can shift demand out of that peak and help maintain security of supply throughout the winter."Octopus Energy has already announced it will participate. It operated a trial scheme with 100,000 customers earlier this year, offering a much smaller discount for people who shifted their energy use away from peak times.
Gas flows from Russia to Europe have been disrupted since its invasion of Ukraine, leaving countries scrambling for alternative supplies, which could have a knock-on effect on Britain.

How is this fair for customers who are not able to have smart meters due to the poor signal in their area? We are also still not receiving any help with being on oil heating! We are being discriminated against for living in rural areas mattwarman
Why arent they allowing people to install small grid-tie solar systems without permission? If its under 400w it shouldnt stress the infra and would actually benefit the system. FTLOG roll this out for places like bus shelters, lamp posts, public buildings etc
Just boil enough water in your kettle when you make your tea, that’s my tip.
