In an attempt to do without Russian gas, individuals could be encouraged to lower their energy consumption. Some devices are already planned.

Save money, and even earn money by monitoring your energy consumption live: this system is installed at Claude Tarze since a few months. Thanks to this follow-up, this retiree now operates his household appliances during off-peak hours, and has been able to reduce his bill by several tens of euros. He is ready to make further efforts. What if these little extra gestures brought you money? This is the idea launched by some experts.

In the event of overheating on the network, your supplier could alert you. It is then up to you to lower your consumption, for example by unplugging your iron, or by shifting the time of your washing machine. Depending on your efforts, your supplier could then reward you, with a discount on your invoice for example. To instantly reduce its energy consumption, other solutions already exist, such as a box which, in times of high voltage on the network, automatically reduces the electrical power.
