How much is passed on to consumers will depend on the supplier. However, in general households involved in the scheme can expect to save between £2 and £20 off their energy depending on their usage. On Monday, National Grid ordered three UK coal-fired plants to begin warming up in case they were needed to generate electricity.National Grid said the use of the Demand Flexibility Service and the warming of coal plants was "not an indication that electricity supplies are at risk, but that we require greater options to manage the network as normal".
