Misunderstandings about energy production and consumption are common. In this slide deck we explore four frequently asked questions about digital energy:

Do smart meters effectively protect user privacy? ​
What is more energy efficient: space heaters or central heating? ​
Are renewable energy sources (e.g. solar and wind power) unreliable?​
Are electric vehicles environmentally friendly, even when charged with fossil fuel generated electricity?

By exploring these questions, we can enhance our understanding of energy digitalisation and make more informed decisions about energy use.

We developed five Every1 Engagement Guides to offer clear, accessible insights for citizens, communities, and businesses. 

The first guide, “Guide to Energy Efficiency and Smart Technologies”, is available in six languages (German, Dutch, French, Portuguese, Greek, and Danish) and provides practical steps to optimise energy use. 

The remaining guides explore essential topics: “What is an Energy Community and Why Should I Join”, “What is the Digital Energy Transition”, “Empowering Businesses in the Digital Energy Transition”, and “Cybersecurity in the Digital Energy Transition”. 

Together, they form a comprehensive resource to support inclusive and informed engagement in the energy future.
