The idea was that a million Britons would ignore paying electricity for September in a joint strike.
A naive hope by the group "Don't Pay" as they had only collected 192,000 signatures on Thursday, The Chronicle reported.
By Saturday morning, just under 3,000 had replied whether they are coming or are interested in the official Facebook event.
At the same time, the European Commission calls on all member states to reduce their electricity consumption by ten percent.
For the British, this means, among other things, that the price ceiling for an ordinary household in the next two years will be lowered from 3,500 pounds to 2,500 pounds.
Instead, the plan is to gather in 19 cities in Great Britain on Saturday to get the message out.
The first demonstrations will start at eleven o'clock and the last ones will start around 2 p.m. local time.
