SwitchedOn Podcast: How households are reshaping the role of electricity networks

The rapid growth of rooftop solar, home batteries and electric vehicles is changing how energy is generated and used, creating new challenges for electricity networks.
 
In this episode of Renew Economy’s SwitchedOn podcast, Mark Sprawson, Chief Commercial Officer at EA Technology, discusses findings from our latest global research, based on a survey of more than 8,000 consumers across the UK, New Zealand and Australia.
 
He explores why understanding consumer behaviour, particularly when and how electricity is used, is becoming increasingly important for managing network capacity, reducing unnecessary infrastructure investment and supporting the transition to Net Zero.
