This consultation seeks views on how best to engage consumers in Consumer-Led Flexibility (CLF) a vital part of the UK’s clean energy transition. CLF involves households and businesses adjusting their energy use in response to signals from the grid, helping to reduce emissions, lower costs, and support a more resilient energy system.
The Energy Demand Research Centre (EDRC) has responded to this consultation by drawing on interdisciplinary research and public engagement, including insights from its citizens panel and studies on trust, equity, and governance. Our response highlights the need for a coordinated, inclusive, and trust-building approach to consumer engagement.
