British Gas plans to offer free power on Saturdays
British Gas has said it is planning to offer free power on Saturdays to some of its customers.
The idea is to encourage them to use more of their electricity at the weekend when there is less demand from businesses, according to the BBC's industry correspondent John Moylan .
The scheme would be available to its one million UK customers who have smart meters.
British Gas is understood to have already started piloting the scheme.

The parent company, Centrica, already offers the scheme - called Free Power Saturday - in its Direct Energy operations in Texas and the north-east of the United States.
Under the scheme, customers get 24 hours of free electricity every Saturday by agreeing to switch more of their usage to the weekend.
