When you use energy is more important than how much you use.
Australia is shifting to renewable energy, but our old habits are making it expensive.
Why? Because there’s an abundance of solar and wind power available during the day but most people still use most of their energy at night.
This forces us to rely on fossil fuels, driving up energy bills and harming the environment, while all that clean, cheap energy goes to waste.
The problem with old habits
We’re used to having electricity 24/7, thanks to fossil fuels. But renewable energy sources are unpredictable: The sun doesn’t shine at night and the wind doesn’t always blow.
The trick is to use renewable energy as it’s being generated and, if possible, storing the excess to use at night.
The power of timing
Using energy when it’s cheap and abundant is key to lower bills and a cleaner planet. That’s why we say when you use energy is more important than how much you use.
Time it right and you can use more energy while paying less for it and reducing your carbon footprint!
