A smart responsive electrical load () is operatively connectable to an electricity supply network (). The smart responsive electrical load () comprises an electrical power-consuming device () and a control arrangement () for controlling a supply of electrical power from the network () to the device (). The control arrangement () is operable to impose a variable time delay (t) before supplying electrical power to the device () after a request for power to be provided to the device (). The variable time delay (t) is a function of a state of the network (), for example its frequency (f) and/or its voltage amplitude (V). Optionally, the device () is a battery charger, for example for use with a rechargeable electric vehicle. Beneficially, the smart responsive load () is supplied with electrical power from a population of micro-generation devices () operable to provide supply network response.
