Ryoko Scott and her husband Mark, both 53 and their 14-year-old son have been turning off all electricity in their household including computers, the oven and all the lights
A family who are partaking in an energy saving trial now spend their time huddling into one candlelit room together and drinking cups of pre warmed tea while they switch off all their electrical appliances.
She was also obviously keen to earn some money off the household's bills amid the current cost of living crisis. National Grid's electricity system operator turned to coal in the face of pressure on operating margins this winter four times before standing down the order. They will also delay doing household chores during these periods so appliances like their washing machine and oven are turned off. Ryoko said: "Over the winter last year, we lit candles and watched TV together in one room, it was quite fun.
They announced that their DFS demonstration tests have a guaranteed minimum price of £3 per kilowatt hour , meaning that the average household could save approximately £100 across the maximum 12 tests, set to come to a close on March 31, if they take part in all the trials. Despite only saving pennies, the mum says she looks out for cheaper times in the days to use her washing machine as she insists it all adds up. Ryoko will time her washing machine to often start at 1am when rates are lower.
