专家指出,将25%的高峰电力用量转移到非高峰时段可以节省30亿美元。 Shifting 25% of peak electricity use to off-peak hours could save $3 billion, experts say.

新西兰的一份报告发现,将高峰电力需求的25%转向非高峰时段可以节省30亿美元的基础设施和发电成本。 A New Zealand report finds shifting 25% of peak electricity demand to off-peak hours could save $3 billion in infrastructure and generation costs. 智能电器、自动化系统和财政奖励可以帮助家庭和企业改变使用方式,如收取EV或夜间使用洗碗机,而不会扰乱日常生活。 Smart appliances, automated systems, and financial incentives can help households and businesses shift usage—like charging EVs or running dishwashers at night—without disrupting daily life. 目前的电网为短期高峰期铺设过度,增加了所有消费者的成本。 The current grid is overbuilt for short peak periods, driving up costs for all consumers. 在重工业面临无弹性需求的同时,智能能源管理可以优化其使用。 While heavy industries face inelastic demand, smart energy management can optimize their use. 专家们敦促进行监管改革,以确保公平利益,避免随着需求增长和电气化扩大而出现不必要的支出。 Experts urge regulatory reforms to ensure equitable benefits and avoid unnecessary spending as demand grows and electrification expands.
