How power companies could control

your energy use in the future

1 | Devices such as televisions and computers turn off if they are left on standby

 

2 | After 10 minutes, shower turns off and must be turned back on manually

 

3 | Set time you need washing to be finished. The supplier will then start washing at a time of low demand or peak supply

 

4 | Indicate times when you most need hot water. Supplier then decides when is the best time to run boiler

 

5 | Supplier switches your fridge off for short periods of time during peak demand

 

6 | Your electric car charges from the house supply, but during peak demand the house may draw from the battery to supplement the grid
