      Welcome to Electricity markets: demand response

      This free, short course introduces demand response and how using energy at specific times can save money. The course also explores how digitalisation enables us to work with our energy suppliers to support efficient electricity generation and transmission.

      This course complements Electricity markets: understanding prices and tariffs and takes a deeper look at our role in the electricity market and how digitalisation enables consumers and electricity providers to make informed decisions.

      You might be:

      • Wanting to make the most of digital technologies to help you take advantage of reduced price or incentivised energy.
      • Interested in the digital energy transition and how this can benefit energy suppliers and consumers.
      • Curious as to how electricity providers manage fluctuations in energy use.

      This course will deepen your understanding of the digital energy transition and support your own digital energy journey! The course lasts for around 30 minutes. It is a self-paced, stand-alone course and part of the suite of 12 courses called Digital Energy Essentials

      At the end of the course, we suggest some further learning materials for you to explore, including the course What is the Digital Energy Transition? If you are unfamiliar with what digital energy is and the reasons behind moving towards digitising our production and consumption of energy, you may want to start with this course.

      This course is part of a suite of learning materials 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 here: https://every1.energy
