Abstract

Our study concerns smart energy with respect to three target groups of end-users: farmers, shop owners, and households. We found cattle farmers that can shift their energy demand in time. Shops are willing to save energy during the night and on days when they are closed, and we found 11% savings on average with little or no investments at all. House owners can often save at least 5% with little or no investments at all. In addition to the technical analysis of the energy saving and load time shifting potential, the paper also explores the users’ experiences with these solutions. This part is based on qualitative interviews with local businesses. By also discussing the user experiences and the anchoring of these initiatives within the local network of actors, the paper pursues a cross-disciplinary approach combining both technical and social perspectives.
