British Gas to offer 50% electricity discount tomorrow at these times | Personal Finance | Finance

British Gas is offering customers more savings on Tuesday with a new half-price electricity deal for those signed up for its PeakSave Green Flex events.

The 50% discount will apply between 11am and 1pm, thanks to an increase in renewable energy supply driven by windy and sunny conditions. Customers are urged to tackle jobs such as preparing lunch, charging electronic devices, and catching up on their favourite TV shows, to make the most of the cheaper electricity costs during that timeframe. Customers have been emailed to opt in to take part.

With PeakSave Green Flex events, customers get half-price electricity when it is very sunny or windy and more renewable energy is available.

British Gas uses its own forecasting to set the events to test the potential savings and impact on the grid with this scheme. The discount is available to new and existing PeakSave customers, and all savings will appear as a credit on customers’ energy bills.

Green Flex events come in addition to the energy giants’ usual PeakSave Sunday scheme, which offers half-price electricity on Sunday between 11am and 4pm.

Customers are not obligated to change their normal routine, although the more tasks they can shift, such as washing, cleaning, or cooking, the more money they can save.

You must be a British Gas customer with a smart electricity meter to take part in the half-price electricity deal. Customers must also register for the PeakSave scheme.

New customers can book a free smart meter with half-hourly data and join the scheme here.

PeakSave was launched to reward customers for better energy usage and support a greener energy supply. So far, British Gas said it has paid over £30million to over one million customers participating in the scheme.

For more details on how to participate in tomorrow’s event, customers should check their emails for specific instructions and event times.
