2. During the DFS event, you should try and avoid using anything energy intensive (for example, dishwasher, washing machine).

We dont know exactly when but highly likely during ‘peak’ time which is usually between 4-7pm.

No, it's entirely up to you. Of course we'd encourage you to take part in as many events as you can.

We’ll calculate what you usually use at that time of day, on average using historical meter reading data. We'll then use half-hourly averages as a benchmark for every kilowatt hour vs actual consumption during DFS event to calculate your demand reduction volume.
