The 30-second advert is currently being screened during prime-time schedules on ITV, Channel 4, Channel 5, Sky and other television channels, offers suggestions about how to cut bills and save energy. It tells the public: “This is a 30-second ad. That’s not long, but it is long enough to do something that could save you money on your energy bills.”
