abstract={Increasingly, the energy services we use are delivered through digitally connected devices such as heat pumps and electric vehicles (EVs). As energy systems electrify and decentralize, their stability will depend on ever more sophisticated coordination of distributed devices. At the same time, consumers may become less able to opt out of these connected ecosystems.},
