British Gas is offering customers the chance to snap up more savings tomorrow with a new half-price electricity deal for those signed up for its PeakSave Green Flex events.
The 50% discount will apply between 1.30pm and 3.30pm, thanks to an increase in renewable energy supply driven by windy and sunny conditions. Customers are urged to make the most of the savings by using appliances such as washing machines, lawn mowers, or air fryers during the two-hour window. With PeakSave Green Flex events, customers get half-price electricity when it is very sunny or windy and there is lots of renewable energy available. Customers have been emailed to opt in to take part.
This event comes in addition to its usual half-price electricity offer on Sundays between 11am and 4pm.
Customers are not obligated to change their normal routine, but the more they can move regular activities such as washing, cleaning, or cooking, the more they can save on energy bills.
British Gas uses its own forecasting to set the events to test the potential savings and impact on the grid with this scheme.
The discount is available to new and existing PeakSave customers, and all savings will appear as a credit on customers' energy bills.
Who can get involved?You must be a British Gas customer with a smart electricity meter to take part in the half-price electricity deal. Customers must also register for the PeakSave scheme.
New customers can book a free smart meter with half-hourly data and join the scheme here.
PeakSave was launched to reward customers for better energy usage and support a greener energy supply. So far, British Gas has paid over £25 million to over one million customers participating in the scheme.
