Project Description
This project aims to identify the responsiveness of Irish households to Time of Use (ToU) tariffs and give insight into the types of households that are most responsive. The project will identify behavioural interventions which may maximise household consumption response, to enable greater flexibility in an Irish context. It will identify the extent with which Irish consumers respond to time-of-use pricing, informational signals, and a combination of both.
