Peak hours are defined as 4-7pm, when the demand for electricity is the highest
British Gas has announced it will reward customers for helping take pressure off the grid by using a reduced amount of electricity during busy times. The UK's largest energy supplier is the latest company to offer this scheme, and it's hoped that 100,000 people will sign up.
Customers with smart meters will be sent emails asking them if they want to take part, British Gas said. "We are exploring how to make this scheme work best for our customers so that it fits in with their habits around the home. This approach to help manage residential electricity demand is likely to become a major feature of the market in years to come. We’ll be taking learnings from this stage with the aim of using our scale to roll out to our wider customer base."
They can then come back home and use their home again as normal. There is no obligation to take part. For a household it means moving the time that you turn on certain appliances, rather than not switching them on at all. It could mean that by switching your oven on an hour later than normal you are paid £4.
