With the transition to net zero, many households are becoming more dependant on electricity rather than gas/oil/coal. Cars, heating, cookers are becoming electric. The demand for electricity is substantially increasing as we move away from pollutive fossil fuels. With electrification of consumers homes, there is a great demand. Demand for electricity is not even through the day. It peaks at certain times, the morning when we wake up for school/work, and the evening when we wind-down, cook and entertain ourselves. During the day, demand is relatively low and stable.
When demand peaks, clean renewable energy supply is used to its maximum capacity and often fossil fuel supplies (Gas) must supplement to meet the nation's needs.
By using large appliances such as tumble driers, vacuum cleaners, washing machines during the day-time or later at night (after the demand period 5-8pm and 7-9am) not only will you be reducing the electricity burden on the grid and so getting cheaper energy saving on your bills, a higher proportion of your energy will be coming from Renewable Supplies (Wind and Solar), reducing your carbon footprint.
Moreover, Solar Panels produce the majority of their energy during the middle day-time when the demand for electricity is the lowest. This energy is largely going to waste. Using your demands in the middle of the day helps utilise clean energy when it is plentiful.
