Consumers driving change
Key to optimising our energy system is providing genuine choice and control to households and small businesses, embracing them as partners in change.
Energy services must be built around individuals to reflect their unique circumstances; enabling people to easily manage their own use and costs.
Households and small businesses are willing partners in change if provided the tools and support they need – whether that be information, data, new affordable technology or other supports.
