The grid operator is today activating its scheme to pay participating households to reduce energy consumption during peak hours

Experts called the first live run of the Demand Flexibility Service during the late afternoon.

Some people on benefits will receive £25 within the next two weeks after temperatures drop.

Experts have blamed the energy shortage on cold weather ramping up demand, lower than usual wind power, and uncertainty over whether the UK will be able to import power from Europe.

The grid operator manages supply and demand around the clock.

The power operator activated its Demand Flexibility Service for the first time tonight, which rewards people for cutting power between 5pm and 6pm on one of the coldest days of the year

  A plan to pay up to one million people and businesses in some parts of the UK to cut energy between 5 pm and 6 pm on Monday evening as part of a scheme to avoid blackouts has been activated for the first time. Up to a million households in England, Scotland and Wales will be paid to use less electricity. This is part of a scheme to avoid blackouts. The development has been branded a 'gimmick' with experts claiming it is a ploy to get more people on to controversial smart meters.
