How doing a wash while you watch the World Cup at 2am could cut energy bills
Change in viewing habits offered by match times at 2026 tournament could mean using cheaper off-peak power
中文導讀
2026年世界盃賽事將會喺英國時間凌晨舉行，能源供應商建議大家可以趁呢段時間用電，例如開洗衣機或洗碗碟機。因為凌晨屬於離峰時段（off-peak），電費會比日間平好多。移英港人如果想慳錢，不妨留意自己份能源合約有無提供呢類彈性收費計劃，趁睇波嗰陣順便處理家務，減輕電費負擔。
