We present a system that may be used to control demand-side electricity consumption. The user interface, designed in consultation with the target group, is simple and well suited for developing regions. The underlying technology is sophisticated and designed to be incorporated into the Internet of Things. We describe the technology used and dedicate a section on the potential benefits of making consumer energy demand information available at regional and national levels.
