Free energy deadline this weekend as millions can still claim support

manchestereveningnews.co.uk:

Brits only have until the end of this weekend to get a one-time discount on their electricity bill. Uswitch is offering £10 of free electricity on Christmas Day, but only if they possess a smart meter.

This offer is the result of a collaboration between Uswitch and the National Grid, with households required to register by December 22.

The initiative is part of a broader campaign to highlight the advantages of smart meters and a scheme managed by the National Grid aimed at balancing electricity demand.

One feature of this programme enables households to earn money by reducing their energy consumption during peak times, such as switching off washing machines and dishwashers.
