We are now live in Demand Flexibility Service!

All you need is a working smart meter to join and opt in for half-hourly meter reads.

You’ll receive an email notification the day before informing you the timings for the DFS event.

1. If you want to take part in that DSF event, opt in via by accepting the request.
2. During the DFS event, you should try and avoid using anything energy intensive (for example, dishwasher, washing machine).
3. Post DFS event, we’ll let you know how much you earned as soon as we have received the half hourly meter reads from your smart meter.

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.
