No. As per NESO guidelines, households can only participate in DFS events via one provider for the whole scheme. Please read on if you have signed up for other schemes.
If you have opted into other schemes run as part of the DFS and you want to continue participating and earning points with equiwatt, you will need to opt out from any other scheme that you are signed up for.
To do this simply sign up for the equiwatt scheme via the equiwatt app. You can learn how to opt into the equiwatt DFS scheme here.
TIP: If you are unsure if you are signed up for another provider's DFS scheme, you can find a list of other registered provider schemes being run as part of the DFS on the NESO website here.
If you sign up for equiwatt's powerSmart events, this will make you ineligible to participate in any other DFS schemes that you have signed up for.
