Enervis study commissioned by Green Planet Energy shows the potential for reducing CO2 emissions and avoiding peak times by using electric cars and heat pumps with intelligent control.
Operational control can shift energy consumption to midday, reducing negative electricity prices by an average of 110 hours/year between 2025-2035.
Benefits include decreasing energy losses, reducing reliance on natural gas power plants, and lowering base load and peak electricity prices.
Consumption flexibility could save 0.7 million tons of CO2 annually by minimizing gas-fired power plant usage, as per the study.
