we can lower bills, improve security, and cut emissions at the same time.

我們可以同時降低費用、改善安全性以及減少排放。

The way to do this is by giving people the control to make, buy, save and sell energy.

要做到這點的辦法是讓人民有權製造、購買、儲存與出售能源。

Here’s our vision for how it could work:

這是我們對於運作方式的願景：

every day more people put solar panels on their homes to make more electricity.

每一天有許多人將太陽能板放上自家屋頂來製造更多電力。

The My Energy app allows them to control how they use this energy.

My Energy 應用程式可以讓他們管理如何使用這些能源。

They can reduce their energy consumption to save money or support the grid.

他們可以減少能源消耗，好用來節省成本或支持能源網絡。

As homes install large capacity batteries, they can store more than they require and sell the excess.

當家戶安裝更大容量的電池，他們可以儲存超過所需的能源，並把超額電量售出。

This means consumers can get paid for being smart with energy, preventing blackouts for everyone.

這代表消費者可以透過有智慧的使用能源而獲得報酬，讓所有人避免停電危機。

This is our vision for demand response.

這是我們回應需求的願景。
