We're rapidly replacing fossil fuel-powered appliances with electric substitutes, but what will those increased demands for electricity mean for the finite reservoir of power at our disposal?
A team of researchers at Otago University has been working to figure out how to increase the efficiency of our electricity usage, and come up with a novel solution: using AI to capitalise on off-peak times.
One of those researchers, Dr Michael Jack, joins us to explain more.
