"Under new plans, households could be encouraged to run appliances or charge electric vehicles when there is excess wind and solar power available. Energy suppliers may offer discounted or free electricity during these periods."
"The National Energy System Operator hopes to avoid hefty payments for turning off wind and solar farms by calling on energy users to increase their consumption during surplus times."
"Great Britain is expected to experience a record summer of renewable energy, potentially running the grid entirely on zero-carbon electricity for the first time."
Households in Great Britain will be urged to increase their energy consumption this summer to help balance the power grid and lower energy bills. Energy suppliers may offer discounted or free electricity during times of surplus renewable energy. This initiative aims to prevent costly payments for turning off wind and solar farms when demand is low. The National Energy System Operator anticipates a record summer for renewable energy, with the potential for the grid to operate entirely on zero-carbon electricity.
