What are the key metrics in a smart energy system that consumers will use to make decisions about which energy supplier they use? (£/kWh may no longer be sufficient, and choices may be made on green credentials, customer service, bundled services).
Background
BEIS has committed to ending the UK’s contribution to global warming by achieving net zero
greenhouse gas emissions by 2050. Our work towards becoming a leader in green
technologies and clean energy will drive economic growth, all whilst accelerating global climate
action through strong international leadership. To achieve this, we need to better understand
the following research questions:
