Through dedicated ARENA funding for the social research on the CONSORT project over a three-year period, we have been able to investigate in-depth 34 households who took part in the Battery Trial on Bruny Island, Australia. Our key findings, discussed here, cover the installation of the new technology, householders’ emotional responses to the technology, how household behaviours changed over the course of the trial, and household reactions to new payment systems, tariffs, and rewards.
