202612:00 – 13:00Online, On TeamsIntroduction to Smart Energy
A free webinar from Low Carbon Hub and the Centre for Sustainable Energy.
Join us and our friends at the Centre for Sustainable Energy (CSE) for an introductory session exploring what ‘smart energy’ really means, how smart tariffs work, and why we believe fairness needs to be at the heart of this fast-moving area of the energy transition.
We’ll cover:
- What smart energy and smart tariffs actually are
- Why the energy market is becoming more complex, and more turbulent
- The risk of a widening gap between those who can access smart tariffs and those who can’t
- Whether a smart meter is worth it, and what to consider
