This Christmas, millions of households across the UK have the chance to enjoy up to £10 worth of free electricity, thanks to the Uswitch Money Back Scheme. Open to all families with a smart meter, the initiative promises to make the holiday season a little lighter on the wallet – quite literally.
Free Electricity: How It Works
The scheme, designed to help families manage festive expenses, is simple and open to all electricity customers, regardless of their provider. Here’s what you need to do:
- Sign up by 22 December.
- Download the Uswitch app and link it to your smart meter.
- Ensure push notifications are enabled to receive alerts when your energy-saving sessions begin.
During these sessions, you can reduce your electricity usage, and Uswitch will calculate how much energy you save compared to your typical consumption. The savings, up to a maximum of £10, will be refunded to you – a small yet impactful gift for your efforts.
Why It’s Worth Joining
With winter here and energy usage going up, the scheme offers a great way to cut costs over the festive period. Ben Gallizzi, energy expert at Uswitch.com, highlights the broader benefits:
“Winter can be an expensive time for many households, so we hope that as many homes as possible can enjoy our little gift of free electricity on Christmas Day.”
But the benefits extend beyond just Christmas. By participating in the scheme, families may discover new ways to adjust their energy habits, leading to savings that last well beyond the festive season.
Who Can Take Part?
The scheme is open to anyone with a smart meter display unit, making it accessible to millions across the country. Whether your provider is large or small, as long as you have a smart meter and sign up in time, you’re eligible to take part.
