Online information platform to soften peaks in energy consumption

In past years, RTE recognised that in order to achieve acceptance of single power lines, it has to consider the energy system and its impacts on society. For example, in 2021 they began to engage in activities to cushion peaks in electricity demand by actively involving consumers. In the regions of Brittany and Provence - Côte d’azur, where energy is in short supply, RTE  established a website together with local authorities. Consumers can actively engage in the initiative, e.g. by subscribing to a short message service that informs them when energy consumption is high. Consumers can thus decide to postpone their own consumption and contribute to the system stability.
