How To Unlock the Power of Demand Response

Описание: Whether you're deep into energy systems or just trying to make your home more efficient, you’ve probably heard about the potential for saving money with smarter electricity use. But how much control are you willing to give up to do that? In this video, we’re going to dig into demand response—an approach that allows consumers to adjust their electricity usage to help balance the grid, cut costs, and reduce emissions.

We’ll explore both the benefits and the risks—how much flexibility you really need to make a difference, and whether exposing yourself to volatile electricity markets is worth it. I’ll also share some personal experiences and practical examples, including the role of technology in making this all a bit easier.
