German Households Hold Key to Smoothing Renewable Energy Fluctuations
A study by Eon and FfE shows that German households could shift 15.6 terawatt-hours of electricity consumption—equivalent to the combined usage of Munich and Warsaw—by adjusting usage of appliances like washing machines and dryers to off-peak hours; this potential could almost double by 2030 due to ...
