Consumer "Demand Flexibility Service"

Any news worthy story. Good things to watch at the Cinema, Theatre, on TV or have you read a good book lately?

Consumer "Demand Flexibility Service"

This is super interesting.
The National Grid is launching a demand flexibility service incentive for consumers - they'll pay us to reduce our electricity consumption at notified times during peak demand. You need a smart meter and for your utility supplier to be part of the scheme to sign up. I would imagine Octopus Customers will be able to take part?!
