Thematic session: Smart and efficient appliances fit for the future
…Improving their efficiency is essential to lowering energy bills, easing pressure on power systems and strengthening resilience.Governments already have effective tools such as Minimum Energy Performance Standards (MEPS), labelling and incentives, which have reduced inefficient products, lowered costs and driven innovation. These policies remain essential and must continue to evolve.At the same time, electricity markets are changing rapidly. Smart and connected appliances are no longer passive consumers: they can provide demand flexibility while maintaining service quality. Well-designed product policies can unlock this potential, reducing peak demand, improving energy security and avoiding costly grid investments.This session will…
