I propose that the automatic update of LibreOffice provides such a feature by focussing on renewable electricity. Basically, renewable electricity is more consensual than low carbon electricity (the later adds a few additional primary sources to the renewable primary sources). Libreoffice could use a forecast service in order to choose the daily period for the update tasks when there is more renewable electricity. If this forecast service isn't available, then it could fallback to the solar zenith period by using the local time zone. Since the daily period wouldn't be the same in all regions of a continent, this would help to distribute the charge to the download servers. Within the selected period, the updater could still add an random delay. I attached a proposition in order to see this choice into the user settings.
Lovely sentiment, just not feasible for a globally delivered application on a distributed Mirror network. -1 => WF
