🔄We're exploring how to use energy flexibly at different times to make the most of renewable sources. This helps manage the higher energy needs of electric cars and heating systems. Learn more about our early findings and achievements!👇

I am excited to have been appointed as a member of the Panel of Technical Experts (PTE) by @energygovuk. The PTE is an advisory group of experts who were appointed by the UK Government to provide assurance on the analysis on the Capacity Market mechanism.

🤔How much storage do we need in a fully electrified future?🔋 @DrGregMarsden, @ElizabethShove and @JTorriti's argue that current energy approaches reproduce interpretations of normality that are, ironically, rooted in an era of fossil fuels:

Exciting news!
In collaboration with @ssencommunity, we are enhancing our @EDRC_UK Demand Flexibility Certificates framework (tinyurl.com/yc335ukx) to amplify the visibility of Demand Flexibility opportunities within Industrial and Commercial properties tinyurl.com/3s9fah3f
Glad to have been involved in this @POST_UK
Demand side response (DSR) could make energy bills cheaper. There is still much to be done to ensure that:
-DSR is effectively used as a system-wide resource
-DSR delivers the envisaged benefits
-everyone benefits from DSR equitably
Demand side response aims to manage peaks of demand and help balance the power grid.
Using demand side response could make household energy bills cheaper but there are some technical barriers, including how energy information is reported. Find out more: post.parliament.uk/research-…
