22 - Why you should use electricity at the right time, with Adrien de Vriendt, Adapt.sh | Energ’Ethic - Climate Justice and Energy Transition

Description

Adrien de Vriendt launched Adapt when he realised that people around him were unaware that electricity could not be green all day and that the use time was as important as other eco-friendly habits.

Adapt is now a mainstream website and App designed to identify when the electricity comes from renewable sources. It, therefore, allows everyday people and those who are usually not interested in energy to plan their energy consumption. It helps them decarbonise their daily lives and respond to the current energy crisis and climate emergency. Before founding Adapt, Adrien had spent ten years working with large companies to help them reduce their energy consumption and CO2 emissions - but as he noticed, much more had to be done for small consumers, such as households.

In this insightful conversation, Adrien offers many energy-saving tips to apply urgently. He also explains why the peak/off-peak (or day/night) tariff, promoted by energy suppliers since the 1960s, has now become economic and ecological nonsense.

Adrien hopes that this user-friendly, free, and open platform will trigger the awareness of millions of Europeans and successfully aggregate enough actions to "accelerate the shutdown of the most polluting fossil fuel power plants" and make the energy sector genuinely green.

Please also take the time to watch Adapt's "Winter is Coming" competition on their social media!

About Energ’Ethic - Climate Justice and Energy Transition

Energ’Ethic is a podcast exploring the human, institutional, and ethical dimensions of the energy transition.

Hosted by Marine Cornelis, Energ’Ethic brings together policymakers, regulators, industry leaders, city practitioners, researchers, and civil society voices to examine what makes energy transitions succeed—or fail—in the real world.

Beyond technology and targets, the podcast focuses on trust, power, consumer rights, digitalisation, and energy justice. Each conversation connects policy and market design with lived experience, unpacking how decisions taken in boardrooms and institutions translate into everyday realities for people and communities.

Energ’Ethic is not about slogans or quick fixes. It is a space for rigorous, grounded conversations about resilience, legitimacy, and the social conditions required for lasting climate and energy strategies.

Hear first-hand perspectives from those shaping energy and climate policy from the inside
Understand how governance, regulation, and technology affect consumers and communities
Explore energy and climate justice through practical, experience-based insights

Energ’Ethic speaks to an engaged audience of decision-makers and practitioners working at the intersection of policy, markets, cities, and society.

Organisations can partner with Energ’Ethic to support high-quality dialogue and reach a thoughtful, policy-literate audience committed to a fair and resilient energy transition.
