A computer implemented system for improving energy efficiency in an electricity supply network. The system creates a data link to an external remote management centre and receives from the remote management centre a schedule which describes when the computer is required not to be in a low power standby state. The computer is required to be available for use during this period, even if no user is physically present. The system will then instruct the operating system of the computer to be in a use state other than a low power standby state during that time period, that is not in hibernation or sleep of off. |
