How could I save money?

If you have a flexible tariff, you could save money by using high-energy appliances when electricity is cheaper. Think about charging your electric car overnight, running your dishwasher later in the evening, or even doing your laundry off-peak. The idea is to align your usage with times when electricity is less costly to supply.
