Green energy is unstable as it requires a lot of wind. Currently, the most realistic way to utilize green energy is to make consumers change their energy habits and thereby creating a more balanced energy consumption during the day.

But what is needed to change the energy habits of households so that green energy can be utilized in the best possible way, and what is the potential? These were, among other things, the questions that SDU's researchers are currently researching and were giving their answers to the People's Meeting. See pictures from the meeting  down below.
