British Gas and Samsung Electronics UK are expanding their collaboration  to launch a unique new tariff, helping customers save money on energy bills this winter.

Owners of eligible Samsung appliances and new customers can now apply for an exclusive fixed British Gas tariff – the Samsung Weekend Saver Fix – giving additional half-price electricity hours between 11am-4pm on Saturdays^[1]

To celebrate the two brands coming together in a UK first, British Gas will offer customers who sign up the chance to win free energy for a year for their household, amounting to £1755 in savings, which is the typical cost to power the average home for a year^[2]

British Gas customers with a smart meter can already enjoy half-price electricity every Sunday from 11am to 4pm, no matter which tariff they’re on, thanks to the PeakSave scheme. Now, with the Samsung Weekend Saver Fix, they’ll get the same half-price electricity hours on Saturdays too, doubling their savings across the weekend. 

This gives customers the flexibility to complete household tasks like doing the laundry, vacuuming and cooking, or to relax and catch up on their favourite TV shows – when energy prices are lower. 

Eligible appliances^[3] include all Samsung washing machines, tumble dryers, fridges/freezers, dishwashers, ovens and vacuums. The offer is also available on selected mobile devices including Galaxy Smartphones; Galaxy Book, Galaxy Tab; TV and AV models; projectors and gaming monitors and selected residential air conditioning and air source heat pumps.  

Since announcing their collaboration in 2024, British Gas and Samsung have helped customers better manage their energy use and increase the adoption of low carbon heating technologies in homes across Britain. Initiatives include integration with the Samsung SmartThings app, enabling customers to schedule appliances  to run when energy demand and costs are lowest, and the introduction of Samsung heat pumps to British Gas’s product range. 

Deborah Honig, Chief Customer Officer at Samsung UK, said: “We know many households will be monitoring their energy usage as we approach winter. As well as providing excellent value through this new tariff,  this  collaboration with British Gas helps our customers take the guesswork out of understanding how much energy their home is using. Appliances can be alerted to run when energy is cheaper, all controlled through our SmartThings app, which connects to over 340 brands. We know energy monitoring is one of the main reasons why UK consumers choose a connected home and are using AI, and we are proud to partner with British Gas to provide even more value to our customers through this tariff’. 

James Hughes, Head of Sales and Partnerships at British Gas, commented: “We’re excited to take another step forward in our relationship with Samsung and give customers smarter ways to manage their energy and save money through the use of the latest technology. 

More than 1.2 million British Gas customers are already using PeakSave to cut their bills and now Samsung customers can double their savings, with half-price electricity on Saturdays too!  Whether it’s doing the laundry, cooking up a storm in the kitchen, or settling in to watch the football, this new tariff gives households further opportunities to save money at the weekend.” 

Growing from 100 million subscribers in 2019 to over 350 million by August 2024, Samsung SmartThings has been leading the way in connected living for a decade. With the power to control devices in the home using a smartphone, SmartThings streamlines routines to make lives more convenient every day. Through SmartThings Energy, you can monitor the energy cost of your appliances, run them on more energy efficient schedules and track your home’s energy use minute by minute. 

First launched in 2023, the British Gas PeakSave scheme has already helped 1.2 million customers save a combined total of £30 million and 1606 tonnes of carbon emissions. It forms part of British Gas’ wider commitment to help households reduce energy bills and use energy more efficiently.

LONDON, UK – SEPTEMBER 26, 2024 – Today, Samsung Electronics UK announced innovations that provide users with smarter and more efficient ways to control their energy. The company unveiled new technology and partnerships to optimise energy usage throughout the home.

Ahead of Winter, Samsung UK revealed a host of advancements powered by SmartThings Energy: eco-tech provider Hive’s thermostats will be integrated into SmartThings from the middle of October, so customers will benefit from an extension of the British Gas PeakSave program, and Tesla technology will also be compatible with the SmartThings App.

Increased SmartThings Connectivity with Hive Integration

To further simplify how users manage their energy usage at home, SmartThings Energy is integrating Hive’s thermostats, so that households can control their home’s temperature directly through the SmartThings app.

The integration of Hive thermostats allows consumers to check their home’s current temperature and set new temperature targets as well as setting at home temperatures when customers are on the move. Installing a Hive Thermostat can save customers up to £172 per year on their heating bill^[1]

Maximising Energy Savings through Leading Partnerships

In partnership with British Gas, Samsung UK is also helping households better manage their energy use and make savings when it comes to their energy bills. The expansion of the collaboration between Samsung and British Gas allows SmartThings Energy users to automate appliances, and other connected products, as part of British Gas PeakSave.

The PeakSave program rewards customers for reducing their electricity usage during peak hours, to times when there is more renewable energy readily available. SmartThings Energy users can automate appliances’ operating modes during these times, allowing them to easily take advantage of periods when electricity is half-price due to there being lots of renewable energy available, and rewards users for shifting their electricity to when there is less demand. So far, British Gas has paid over £13 million to 650,000 customers taking part in the scheme.

Boosted Home Energy Experience with Tesla Energy API for UK users

Energy-saving starts within the home, but it doesn’t need to stop there. Earlier this year at CES Samsung announced its collaboration with Tesla for SmartThings Energy and now UK users can benefit from this increased connectivity, allowing users to easily access information relating to users’ energy production, storage and usage via SmartThings Energy.

Made possible through Tesla’s open APIs, the expansion of SmartThings Energy allows users to connect with their Tesla Powerwall, and Solar Inverter for a more streamlined smart home experience.

In addition to making it easier to manage energy consumption, this integration allows for better preparations for power disruptions and outages. SmartThings syncs up with the Tesla app’s Powerwall ‘Storm Watch’ function – meaning in the case of extreme weather events users can be alerted through SmartThings on their connected Samsung TV’s and mobile.

Deborah Honig, Chief Customer Officer, Samsung UK and Ireland, comments: “We know that controlling energy consumption is a top priority for our customers, and as we head into winter this becomes an even bigger priority.

“We are continually evolving our SmartThings energy management features and extending our partnerships with British Gas and Tesla, to make it even easier and more intuitive for customers to manage their home energy usage.

“By providing new automated tech solutions that help our customers save time, money and energy, we are seeing even more people do that ‘little bit extra’ every day to take of their home and the planet.”

Dan Rosenfield, Managing Director of Hive, added: “We are delighted to be extending our partnership with Samsung to energise a greener, fairer future for our customers. As we head into Winter, we are making it easier for our customers to save money on their energy bills and cut carbon through integrating our market-leading propositions into the SmartThings app.”

SmartThings is the only place where Tesla Powerwalls, British Gas PeakSave, Samsung Smart Home appliances, and Smart Meters can be managed in one place to optimise the use of energy across the home. These new partnerships and innovations are part of Samsung’s drive to enhance the multi-device experience of SmartThings users.
