EDF has reintroduced its Sunday Saver challenge for February, offering customers free electricity on Sundays if they reduce their electricity usage during weekday peak hours from 4pm to 7pm. Participants can earn between four and 16 hours of free electricity for the following Sunday. EDF customers with smart meters can sign up for the challenge until February 1.

The energy company states that over 260,000 households have already benefited from the Sunday Saver initiative, receiving a total of 17 million free hours of electricity, resulting in £5.2 million in bill credits for customers. In addition, EDF is providing £50 credit to new and existing customers who sign up for any of its electric vehicle tariffs, which include five hours of cheaper electricity every night between 12am and 5am for both homes and electric vehicles.

Natasha Shields from Barnsley, South Yorkshire, shared her positive experience with the Sunday Saver challenge, mentioning how it has helped her family manage living costs. EDF’s Sales & Marketing Director, Jon Perks, highlighted the program’s benefits in reducing costs for households during the winter season and promoting sustainability by encouraging energy-saving practices. Customers can monitor their progress through the Energy Hub on MyAccount, ensuring they can track their energy consumption and make informed decisions to save electricity.
