  • track, hour by hour, regional and nation-wide data about the power system (electricity consumption in megawatts, power generation by energy source and technology, CO2 emissions in France resulting from power generation, cross-border trading schedules, spot prices on Europe’s electricity market),
  • understand their power consumption and
  • act effectively in the event of a warning from the grid by taking simple measures to avoid or mitigate the risk of a grid imbalance at certain times of the day.
