While consumers are increasingly conscious of their energy usage, demand is still set to rise sharply. Our research shows that <strong>three in four consumers believe they can reduce their energy use<\/strong>, yet <strong>UK household electricity demand is projected to increase by 40% by 2030.<\/strong>  <\/p><p>This disconnect highlights the urgent need for <strong>smarter, more responsive low voltage (LV) networks<\/strong>. As electrification accelerates through the adoption of <strong>electric vehicles, heat pumps and distributed energy resources (DERs)<\/strong>, the pressure on local networks continues to grow. The whitepaper explores what this means for network operators and why greater visibility, intelligence and flexibility at the grid edge are now essential.  <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8f6e770 elementor-widget elementor-widget-button\" data-id=\"8f6e770\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"button.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-button elementor-button-link elementor-size-sm\" href=\"https:\/\/visnet.tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/VisNet-Consumer-Energy-Trends-Whitepaper.pdf\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-content-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-text\">Download here <\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Energy demand is set to rise despite consumer efforts to reduce usage.
