What is the consumer appetite for different energy business models (energy as a service, trading models such as peer-to-peer etc)? What consumers would need for these to be successful; and what benefits these could bring to the system as a whole?
Background
BEIS has committed to ending the UK’s contribution to global warming by achieving net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050.
