Energy demand and its temporal flexibility: Approaches, criticalities and ways forward

S. Lo Piano et al.

Summary: This contribution reviews the options proposed to reduce and/or act on the temporal profile of energy demand, primarily at the residential level. It examines the use of automated technology-driven options and monetary incentives to shift behavior of end users. The article also highlights the potential conflicts between options that aim to reduce energy demand and those that affect its temporality. The socio-economic drivers of residential energy demand patterns and temporality are discussed, along with the application of analytical frameworks to gain a better understanding of energy demand and its temporal flexibility.

Competing socio-technical narratives in times of grid capacity challenges: the representative case of Sweden

Frans Libertson

Summary: The study analyzes the ongoing media discourse in Sweden to determine whether there is a dominant narrative in the debate and its potential implications. Findings indicate that the government is unanimously held accountable for the electricity shortage and there is a strong inclination toward a centralized electricity system as a solution. Results suggest that the dominating centralized narrative might create a technological lock-in and hinder the transformation of the electricity system toward a more sustainable path.

Demand response and energy justice: A critical overview of ethical risks and opportunities within digital, decentralised, and decarbonised futures

Philippa Calver et al.

Summary: The transition to a digital, decarbonised, and decentralised energy system presents risks and opportunities for domestic consumers. Domestic 'demand-side response' (DSR) can have varied and uneven consumer outcomes, impacting energy justice. Further empirical research is needed to understand how DSR can contribute to energy justice and mitigate potential risks.

Social license to automate: A critical review of emerging approaches to electricity demand management

Sophie Adams et al.

Summary: This paper explores the importance of obtaining a "social license" in DSM programs and its significance in understanding public concerns regarding energy policy. We propose three analytical perspectives: potential frictions between demand flexibility and social practices, the influence of users' engagement on their sense of control and agency, and the ways users may participate in programs as collectives rather than individuals.
