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.

Power to the People now becomes power to, for, by with and from the People.
We are all prosumers now. In the world of food, the Slow Food movements has renamed consumers co-producers - on the basis that when we buy something, we are collectively responsible for the whole supply chain that brings it to us.
The same can be said of electricity - and we all have the scope to affect the supply chain. The easiest way to begin to do this is to use less - and then to use it when we choose to.
I choose to use electricity for discretionary purposes at night and when the sun is shining. What do you do?
There are no right or wrong answers, just the power to make informed choices.
