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.

Last meeting of ECC Committee discusses DSR - a bit late?
The difficulties faced by companies such as Kiwi, Tempus and Passivsystems in delivering demand side response against regulatory inertia are highlighted in this discussion in front of the last meeting of the Energy and Climate Change Select Committee before its absorption into the BEIS Committee.
The relevant discussion is at
http://www.parliament.uk/business/committees/committees-a-z/commons-select/energy-and-climate-change-committee/news-parliament-2015/energy-revolution-evidence-16-17/
staring at 10:15 on the video.
If we do not get this right, we are in danger of perpetuating highly polluting diesel or coal fired stations for peak supply.
It is not good enough to say that consumers don't understand it.
Behavioural issues must be addressed in tandem with regulatory change.
