The introduction of demand-side policies via smart metering and smart grids could in principle provide the necessary tools to allow more active participation of all demand-side actors to price formation thus achieving a more efficient energy only-model (see also Section 6.1). However, in many liberalised power markets, many consumers are exposed neither directly nor indirectly to market prices, for instance due to regulated tariffs. Even reinforcing the demand-side policies previously mentioned will thus not help to stabilise prices. In addition, even under the best of circumstances, consumers will require massive incentives to forego heating, washing, cooking or watching television at the moment they originally desired.
