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.

Community Energy Action Report helps us to see where we should be heading
Western Power Distribution published a report late last year that describes in great detail their engagement with several communities in the quest for awareness raising and behaviour change that would benefit both the suppliers and users of electricity.
You can download and read the report at

I think my aim is a step on the way, simpler and less ambitious - to reduce national peak demand by awareness raising of when that occurs, to which the answer is simple - between 3 and 8pm on winter weekdays.
Once there is general awareness of peak generation capacity as an issue, the rest can follow on a firmer footing.
