Lessons learned from Germany's adoption of smart meters will make it easier for other geographies

With a PhD in Psychology and many years of experience in personal development, I have experienced that overcoming behavioral barriers are key to a sustainable future. That is why I'm excited to share that I have contributed this knowledge as main author to the recently published case study "Behavioural barriers in adoption of smart meters" by the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe Digitalization in Energy Task Force. In this case study, we explain how smart meter technology was adopted in Germany. This technology is a key element in the energy transition to using renewable energy as opposed to fossil fuel based energy. We also explain lessons learned based on this adoption and policy recommendations, so that other geographies can adopt this technology easily and effectively as well. You can find the paper and more details here:

I would also like to thank my co-authors Dr Alina Mia Udall and Sudha Setty who did an excellent job! And I'm grateful for the important inputs and support by Dr. Romanas Savickas, Elizabeth Massey, Andrei Covatariu, Stefan M. Buettner, Brian O Regan, Sofie Schönborn, Roberto Monaco and Dr. Marta Ra to make this a master piece!
