This article explores innovative work behavior related to saving electrical energy in office environments and the crucial role of shaping the environmental behavior of consumers within electricity networks powered by green energy. As awareness of climate change and sustainability grows, energy efficiency in workplaces has become increasingly vital. This study examines various innovative strategies that can be implemented to minimize electrical consumption in offices, including the adoption of smart technologies, eco-friendly workspace designs, and employee training on energysaving practices. Furthermore, it highlights how corporate initiatives and government policies can influence consumer behavior regarding green energy usage. By analyzing the interplay between innovations in energy management and consumer habits, this research provides insights into how collective actions can promote more sustainable energy consumption. The findings aim to guide policymakers and organizational leaders in creating more energy-efficient work environments while encouraging the utilization of renewable energy sources. Ultimately, the article underscores the importance of fostering a culture of innovation and environmental responsibility in the workplace, which not only contributes to energy savings but also empowers consumers to make informed choices in their energy usage. This comprehensive approach is essential for advancing sustainability goals and achieving a greener future in the context of increasing energy demands.
