Your smart meter is already watching.
Here is how to make it pay.
68% of UK homes now have a smart meter. Most people use it to check their usage. Almost nobody uses it to earn money. That gap is what FlexMyPower is built on.
📟 What does a smart meter actually do?
It sends your half-hourly energy usage data to your supplier automatically. No more estimated bills. No more meter readings.
But it also does something most people do not know about. It sends that same data to the National Grid. So the grid knows, in real time, how much electricity every street in the country is using.
That data is what makes demand flexibility possible. The grid can see which households shifted their usage. and which ones did not. and pay accordingly.
💷 So why are most people not getting paid?
Because getting paid requires being enrolled in a flexibility programme. and until recently, those programmes were only open to households already on special smart tariffs.
That changed in August 2025. A rule update called P483 removed the requirement to be on a specific tariff. Any household with a smart meter and a compatible device can now participate.
Most energy suppliers have not told their customers this. We did not expect them to.
🔌 What devices does it work with?
EV chargers, heat pumps, hot water tanks, home batteries, and smart plugs. If a device uses a meaningful amount of electricity and has a degree of scheduling flexibility, it can participate.
You do not need to buy new equipment. You do not need to switch supplier. You just need a smart meter and at least one of the above.
The average UK household with an EV and a heat pump is looking at £415 to £935 total value this year. Earnings from the grid, plus bill savings from smart timing.
