Hard-to-Reach Energy Users

Synopsis

There is a significant percentage of the human population (we estimate over 2/3 of energy users fall into it!) who can be regarded as “hard-to-reach energy users”. These are the people policymakers, utility programme managers and research experts are struggling to engage with – often, for good reason. This very large energy user segment is the focus of this Users TCP Task.

Overview

Task Duration:
June 2019 to May 2022 (1 year extension to 2023)

Participating countries:
New Zealand, Sweden, United States of America
