The concept of Good Grid Citizenship

At Bryt Energy, behaviour change and the concept of ‘good grid citizenship’ is something they strongly believe in. But what is good grid citizenship, and how can we put this mindset into practice? 

The term ‘good grid citizenship’ is about using the electricity network more responsibly, to contribute towards the reliable and affordable operation of the grid, so that it works for everyone.  

This means changing our mindsets from that of a ‘consumer’ to a ‘citizen’ – being an engaged participant, rather than simply taking what we want from the grid, when we want it. In practice, this means having a more considered approach to electricity usage; only using what’s needed, being more efficient, consuming when there is abundance, and offering back surplus to meet the system’s needs. 

Our members, Bryt Energy, have written a post about why this concept is so important, and what the benefits are of being a good grid citizen.
