Solent Achieving Value from Efficiency (SAVE) is an Ofgem funded project run by Scottish and Southern Electricity Networks (SSEN) and partnered by the University of Southampton (UoS), DNV GL and Neighbourhood Economics (NEL). The innovative programme evaluates the potential for domestic customers to actively participate in improving the resilience of electricity distribution networks and thereby defer the need for traditional reinforcement. The government has forecasted an increase in electricity demand of 60% by 2050 meaning peak demand is likely to grow to six times higher than what the network was designed for.
I am dedicated to a greener, cleaner and more cost-effective energy system and commit to supporting our transition to a low-carbon economy by making a conscious effort to reduce my electricity consumption at peak time (between 4pm and 8pm) by 10%.
