Friends of Sustainable Grids
Supergrid education actions – in a nutshell
Tomorrow’s world is an electrified one for which the consumer holds the key and smart infrastructure will enable this to happen.
Our Message
It is critical to educate tomorrow’s consumers to the energy environment and why they need it. For them to support necessary efforts in RES, efficiency and related infrastructure development, consumers must have at least a minimal understanding of how important electricity is in their day-to-day life and of the advantages of favoring RES and seeking efficient solutions. Policy makers will take action much faster and with more confidence if they know that consumers support their actions.
Friends of the Supergrid aims to open up a conversation about what does it mean to be smart about energy, and what is the role of the consumer in developing the smart infrastructure and building a sustainable future.
WHAT CAN WE DO TOGETHER?
