I'm sure that some people could arrange to shift some of their energy
usage but there is a good reason why there are periods of peak demand on
the grid and its unlikely for most people that their habits, work
patterns or leisure activities will change significantly.


The €ścarrot and stick€ť approach with Octopus Agile is quite a strong
incentive to alter ones usage. ;-)

Without suitable incentives its not surprising that people cant be
bothered to change. If a company makes it worthwhile though...
