From that regular Sunday roast to our favourite Indian takeaway, you might think that Britons are creatures of habit. However, research carried out by Smart Energy GB† showed that we’re actually a nation that’s happy to switch it up for a positive outcome.
And with energy prices remaining high, 64 per cent of Britons are changing their routines and becoming more flexible to save money, with 56 per cent specifically looking to save energy. An impressive 40 per cent of Britons have adapted their daily routines in the past year. Almost a quarter say they consider the time of day when doing high energy-consuming tasks, and 70 per cent have changed the way they plan their meals by doing more batch cooking.
Unsurprisingly, a majority do so to save money and energy, but many people were also happy to find that adapting their routines helped them to be more efficient and save time. Consumer finance expert and TV presenter Steph McGovern has been working with Smart Energy GB to explore how much energy and money can be saved at home, and just how easy it can be.
Energy reward schemes can suit our changing schedules and help us save money on bills. These flexible schemes can be easily accessed by households with a smart meter, and are designed to help reward customers for using energy at different times of the day.
