In the first phase the participants receive daily information on the Internet, by email or via mobile phone, alerting them when it would be cheaper to use energy the next day and to use washing machines, for example, and times when it would be advantageous to save energy. A traffic light system clearly illustrates the daily periods: Red = energy saving - green = energy consumption is beneficial. In the second phase, participants also receive, in addition to the red-and-green phases, bills that present the tariffs for energy. On this base a bonus system is establish to influence the consumer's behavior. The better one household adapts its consumption behavior to the traffic light colors, the higher the bonus.
