Abstract

The emerging logics of smart grids rely on reconfiguring the ways in which energy is used in everyday life. In this chapter, we examine the ways in which the governing of energy use through the smart grid is creating new forms of ‘self-government’ tied to emerging alignments between the rationalities of decarbonisation and household economies, and how such interventions seek reconfigure practices in order to realise the intention of smart grid interventions.
