Everyone has the power to transform electricity and reduce costs, carbon and outages by shifting when we use non-time-sensitive appliances from the 3-8pm peak to the midnight-7am trough - shift your dishwashers, washing machines, tumble driers and immersion heaters.

Where will the drive for domestic demand response come from?
Domestic consumers in UK could - as I have outlined - with modest efforts reduce peak consumption by 7GW. Simultaneously, they could shift demand into summer troughs, thus easing the strain on the system caused by solar PV, and allowing more of it to be installed.
Who will start the ball rolling? OFGEM? The DNO's? DECC? The big six? National Grid? Or you and I!
What do you think?
