Why choose Centrica DSR?
The Centrica DSR platform is already connecting thousands of devices in people’s homes – from smart electric heating and hot water tanks to EV chargers and batteries.
By intelligently optimising when each device uses, stores and releases energy, we can connect communities of energy users to create Virtual Power Plants big enough to play a significant role in the national grid.
Virtual Power Plants - Real-world benefits
Centrica DSR can help achieve a more sustainable and reliable electricity system. And for connected consumers, it could mean everyday energy that’s smarter, greener and cheaper.
