Description

Automated and semi-automated DSM solutions promise support to consumers in adapting energy use but are currently often geared towards users as “one fits all” solutions, thereby failing to sufficiently take heterogeneity in motivation, household practices, knowledge, literacy, and ultimately flexibility potentials into account. Further, energy communities (EC) could serve as a stepping stone towards engaging a great diversity of citizens collectively and foster trust towards energy efficiency applications and demand side management mechanisms to secure future energy supply. This contribution presents first results of the “Social License to Automate 2.0” project which is dedicated to exploring how automated DSM can accommodate gender and diversity aspects and build on energy communities for promoting a social license.
