Some households who cut peak-time electricity use on Monday will get discounts on their bills.
A scheme that offers discounts on bills for households who cut peak-time electricity use will be triggered on Monday as the UK's cold snap continues.
National Grid said the scheme, which is part of its efforts to avoid blackouts and has only been used in tests so far, would run between 17:00 and 18:00 GMT.National Grid said the measures were "precautionary" and it did not mean electricity supplies were at risk. It said it expected electricity supply margins "to be tighter than normal" on Monday, but added that "people should not be worried".The cold weather means demand for energy rises as more people heat their homes., which allows some households to receive discounts if they cut their use of electricity, by, for example, delaying the use of a tumble-dryer or washing machine.
