London's 5,567 households participated in the UK's first residential dynamic pricing trial in 2013, with 1,122 receiving a special tariff. The Low Carbon London project, a £28m research programme from 2011 to 2014, collected meter reading and consumer survey data to assess the value and social impact of dynamic pricing. The trial was conducted by UK Power Networks, Imperial College London, EDF Energy, Siemens, and CGI.
