    • Welcome to What is the digital energy transition?

      This is a free, short course that explores what digital energy is and the reasons behind moving towards digitalising our production and consumption of energy. 

      You might be:

      • Interested in consuming less and understanding what practical steps you can take to improve your energy consumption and potentially save money.
      • Curious about how new technologies are making a difference to how we produce and consume energy, and how we can use energy more effectively. 
      • Concerned about climate change or rising energy costs and how to better manage your energy usage at home. 

      It will give you a better understanding of the digital energy transition and help get you started on your own digital energy journey! 

      It is a self-paced, stand-alone course which takes around 30 minutes to complete. At the end of the course, we suggest some further learning materials for you to explore, including the course Why Digitalise Energy? which explores why the digital energy transition is important and some of the benefits and challenges. 

      This course is part of a suite of 12 courses called Digital Energy Essentials developed by the Every1 project, which aims to enable and empower everyone’s engagement in the energy transition. You can find out more about the project by going to every1.energy.
