Description:

consumer behaviour for the energy is quite an issue, as non of them has the awareness of how things are working and how we can improve the whole energy consumption habits, and how they can save energy during their normal habits and save money so it's a win-win situation for both the consumers and the suppliers. small flyers or social media influencers can really change the whole equation.

Enablers:

  • prices of energy are getting higher
  • less energy will be needed from suppliers.
  • the saved money can be used on other stuff.
  • win-win situation.
  • embed the awareness for the young generation in their educational systems.

Inhibitors:

  • cost for educating people



Paradigms:

thinking of the whole energy system in future is very important but, it doesn't have to come from just changing energy sources from dirty to clean (renewable) that is one part of the story but what if we could change the usage behaviour of customer in heating, cooling, lighting, use of solar energy, recycling, reduce waste etc... that will save us a lot of energy saving in the future.
