Less pushback โmore payback ๐ถ๐ท My new blog with @EuanGraham9 for @EnergiewendeGER explores how governments can deliver on the EU promise of 'simple, fair and cost effective' implementation of energy/climate commitments - via inclusive household #demandflexibility strategiesโก๏ธ
โก To prevent green backlash, #NetZero policies must translate into lower bills and better services for โordinaryโ households. An inclusive demand flexibility strategy is vital to this, @slyule and @EuanGraham9 report ๐ https://t.co/jANcrdLUwj

For more, including work on personas we'll use in future work, and recommendations, see https://t.co/Tb3ndT73B1. A lot of it is about finding ways to speak to people about these services in ways that are most meaningful to them 4/

Household make-up played a big role in flexibility, with larger households having greater potential for savings but facing challenges due to caring responsibilities and established routines 3/

People appreciated the wider benefits of Power Payback, including opportunities to learn about energy and have good environmental impacts, although there was generally low awareness of its underlying drivers 2/

Some quick findings from this report I worked on at @nesta_uk. Finances were the main motivation for prepayment customers' participation in DFS events, and people valued even small savings - there was a strong sense that 'every little helps' 1/ @UCL_Energy @EDRC_UK
Flexibility services reward households for reduced energy use during peak times & are important for managing the grid. How can we make them work for everyone? We worked with @UtilitaEnergy to understand the experience of those with prepayment meters.

New personal post - should we give every 18 year old their own plot of land? https://t.co/8Fk4HKPEQn

I think this is a bad idea, but Iโm going to write it down anyway: whenever someone in the UK turns 18, we should give them a plot of landโฆ

Pavements are for people, not cars. Pavement parking is dangerous, forcing people with wheelchairs and parents with buggies into the road and oncoming traffic. Please sign our card asking the Transport Secretary to end pavement parking today. https://t.co/L96gbUdnV6

I was really sorry to hear that @SurreyCouncil decided not to introduce proposed parking restrictions on Grovehill Road, had been hoping to have a clear walk along the pavement at some point๐ @_JonathanEssex

This letter from Prof Michael Grubb (@MichaelGrubb9) is well worth a read on the five ways (at least) that markets are loaded against adequate action on climate change: 1) failure to (adequately) price CO2 2) capital mkt failure to appropriately price future 3) oil/gas
