Why are energy prices increasing?


Energy is boring!

Consumers have little understanding about concepts like kW, kWh or tariffs.


Real-time energy use feedback has proven to be an effective tool for raising energy awareness and reducing domestic energy consumption.

Why real time?

Makes energy use tangible Establishes trust (cause and effect demonstration) Stimulates immediate action

The power of real-time energy visibility
