Time to use energy when it's clean.
And not when it's not.
The energy flowing into our homes changes every hour. Sometimes it's low-carbon, and sometimes it's high-carbon.
Greener Hours is your daily personalised low-carbon energy forecast, so you can reduce carbon emissions,
earn rewards and help us all get to a zero-carbon future, faster.
We're less about using less. And more about using better.

Timing is everything.
Did you know the amount of carbon that's emitted when you turn on your washing machine has less to do with the type of washing machine you have, and more to do with when you turn it on?
Even if you're on a green tariff, the way electricity is generated means your individual carbon impact goes up and down, depending on what time of the day you plug stuff in. Until today there's been no way to know when our energy flowing into our homes is clean.
Greener Hours means you can now plan ahead and use electricity when it's at its cleanest.
More (clean) power to you.

“I’ve been sharing GH with my family who have all been shifting various things so that’s another 4 households getting involved remotely ☺”
