SmartShift Energy

Did you know that local flexibility markets for electricity in the UK doubled in volume last year? It points to some exciting opportunities for innovation. Essentially, these markets exist to help balance electricity supply and demand in your area. Think of it like rush hour traffic – if everyone suddenly turns on their appliances at once, it could cause a "gridlock" and power outages. Local flexibility markets offer incentives for homes and businesses to shift their energy use away from peak times (like evenings when everyone's cooking dinner). This helps avoid expensive grid upgrades, which benefits all of us through lower bills. The more these markets grow, the more opportunities there will be for everyday households to participate. Imagine tools that effortlessly adjust your appliances to optimise your energy use and put money back in your pocket! We look forward to further growth and development of local flexibility markets to make energy greener and more affordable for everyone. https://lnkd.in/dNQF_JDW #energyflexing #electricitydemand #localflexibilitymarkets #energyconsumption

The future of home energy is evolving, and we're eager to be part of it. This excellent analysis on Germany's energy market (https://lnkd.in/ez_x_EcQ) highlights a shift towards a more consumer-centric model – something we at SmartShift Energy are also championing. While we focus on delivering immediate savings to our first customers, our long-term vision aligns with empowering homeowners to take control of their energy usage and costs. #EnergyTransition #EnergyInnovation #FutureofEnergy

We're hiring for two interns! Great opportunity for anyone passionate about working at the cutting edge of the energy transition to help save consumers money. We hope to design the two roles around the successful applicants, but we do have two specific needs: i) B2C marketing, communication and design; and ii) business development and strategy. Looking forward to bringing two stellar individuals onto our team for the summer 🌞
