In September and early October there will be 4-6 Turn Up events, each 1-2 hours long. We’ll let you know the time and date in advance, but they’ll generally happen in the middle of the day when electricity demand is low but renewable energy can be plentiful (think solar).
Our Heat Pump Turn Up events will come first. During these events, we’ll ask you to shift your space heating and hot water heating to the time we’ve suggested, so you can take advantage of the free electricity periods.This will give us a good insight into heat pump flexibility and whether we can do more to harness it in homes across the UK.
Once our Heat Pump Turn Up events have finished, we’ll move on to our General Turn Up events. The energy you use in these sessions won’t be limited to heat pumps – you can shift any of your usual electricity usage to take advantage of the free power (EV charging, cooking, laundry, topping up home batteries etc!)
