USER – Uppsala Smart Energy Research group – is an interdisciplinary research group aiming to increase knowledge about the role of electricity consumers and prosumers (producers who are also consumers) in the realisation of smart grids. The research focuses mainly on user behaviour and socio-technical perspectives, i.e. how people and technology interact.
Column: The energy crisis may lead to greater efficiency
The energy crisis has the potential to spawn more active and flexible electricity consumers and thus a more efficient electricity market and use of the grid. That said, there are factors that may counter this positive development.
