# Scenario adjustments


Scenario adjustments for the residential demand sector are limited to demand flex adjustments. The Shift scenario assuming higher levels of demand flexibility. You can read more detail on this in the demand flex section of the documentation.

However, changes in upstream energy supply between scenarios, such as electricity generation or battery technology costs, may further impact the most cost-effective technology composition in residential energy demand. 

Many other energy scenario models include changes to population projections, and therefore residential energy demand, between different scenarios. While this is a useful approach, TIMES-NZ is currently focused on the impact of different technology or behaviour changes on the energy system while keeping demand fixed.
