Households paid to cut energy use during strain on network.
Cold weather in continental Europe is affecting energy prices and deterring traders from selling power to Britain
Households will be paid to use less electricity on Wednesday evening as cold weather and low wind speeds put Britain’s power system under strain.
National Grid, the company responsible for keeping Britain’s lights on, has activated its so-called “demand flexibility service” for the first time this winter as it seeks to reduce consumer demand between 5pm and 6.30pm on November 29.
- the times trying their best to make a cashback scheme look bad. power prices are lower than last year and last paragraph just says they can buy more if needed.kingsteven
- i did some calculations and you could only benefit from this as a residential customer if you usually run a tumble dryer twice between 5.30 and 6:30kingsteven

Thousands of babies and toddlers falling sick from damp homes in Britain, NHS doctor warns
Exclusive: Nearly 31,000 children aged four or under admitted to hospital each year in England due to respiratory virus, with 80% developing acute bronchiolitisThousands of babies and toddlers are being admitted to hospital in England each year with lung conditions probably linked to damp and mould-ridden homes, a senior doctor has warned.
Dr Andy Knox, an associate medical director for the NHS, said squalid housing was having a “profoundly negative impact on the nation’s health” and worsening the crisis in the NHS.
“It is becoming a really major health issue for us as a nation, and we need legislation that is going to properly deal with this,” he said.
The Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health said the state of Britain’s housing was “now a crucial issue for child health” and called on ministers to launch a clear way for parents to report poor air quality in rented and social housing.
- Just put an extra jumper on, try not to breathe in the mold. Wonder how many homes will be structurally fucked in the coming years too?PhanLo
