About the Project Project ID: SS_16 Theme: Safety and Sustainability The UK’s net-zero targets demand a considerable increase in the adoption of low-carbon technologies (LCTs), such as electric vehicles (EVs, solar PVs, and heat pumps. However, the transition to LCTs presents challenges from both consumer and distribution network operator (DNO) perspectives. Concerns such as high upfront costs, insufficient technical support, and inadequate incentives hinder the widespread adoption of LCTs. Simultaneously, DNOs face challenges in managing increasing LCT loads, especially in grid planning and operation, as the current infrastructure is not yet equipped for the projected LCT uptake. This project aims to address these challenges by analysing both consumer behaviour and technical needs of DNOs. Using social media data and targeted surveys, the research will identify key factors affecting LCT adoption in the UK. The insights gathered will inform the development of data-driven strategies to improve grid management, optimise demand response, and design more effective policy incentives. The ultimate goal is to support a smoother transition to a low-carbon grid. The research will enable DNOs to better manage the integration of LCTs into the grid, develop effective demand response strategies, enhance grid management, and support policymakers in designing effective incentives. This data-driven approach is critical for facilitating the UK's energy transition and achieving its net-zero targets.
