Sociological study of consumption reduction
The CITY OPT project is a European project aimed at optimising energy systems in smart cities. It consists of deploying a sociological experiment to analyse consumer behaviour when faced with an offer to moderate their consumption during winter peaks (from 6pm to 8pm).
This experiment, which is being carried out on a large scale in Nice on a panel of 200 households equipped with Linky meters, is designed to encourage consumers to switch off about 20 times a winter.
