Overview

• Eligible PeakSave customers are being contacted to opt in, and participation requires a smart meter with half-hourly reads, which British Gas installs free on request.
• Usage during the window is billed normally, then half is returned as a “PeakSave Green Flex Credit” that typically appears within two weeks, with standing charges unchanged.
• The event is scheduled for expected high renewable output, encouraging households to move tasks such as laundry and cooking into the two-hour slot.
• British Gas has launched a one-year fixed tariff at £1,580 for a typical dual-fuel home, positioned £175 below the current price cap.
• Ofgem has confirmed a 2% price-cap increase from 1 October, taking a typical dual-fuel bill to about £1,755.
