How clean your electricity is really depends on when you use it and not on who is supplying it to you. This is most likely to happen when demand for electricity is low and energy generated by renewable sources is high (when the wind turbines are spinning or the solar panels are baking).
Smart energy systems such as the EnergyElephant Smart Energy Traffic Light System can be depolyed to encourage more sustainable energy consumption for households, businesses and organisations. Examples include only turning on or timing devices to turn on when the traffic light is greenest; such as setting washing machines, dryers, charging electric vehicles, running data-center backups, charging storage heaters, immersion heating for hot water, charging laptops and smart phones and even making a low carbon cuppa tea.
In conjunction with Trinity College Dublin, EnergyElephant has created
an opensource physical traffic light using high energy efficiency
LED lights which changes colour depending on the current state of the Smart Energy Traffic Light System.
This can be placed in any public area to highlight how green
is the current energy supply. For further information on using this physical system in a building,
please contact us on
