Brief description Shifting consumer electricity use to stabilise the grid and lower emissions. This project aims to develop and test theory-informed behaviour change interventions designed to influence household electricity use. Using less in the evening and more during midday helps households reduce their electricity bills and power networks avoid power outages from excessive peak demand or midday solar feed-in. The project aims to make theoretical and methodological contributions by developing a new approach for continuous monitoring of electricity use and consumer sentiment; comparing the value of four theories of human behaviour in interventions design; and pioneering state-wide field experimentation in the energy market. Outputs include effective interventions and a monitoring system for electricity use and consumer sentiment.
