E.ON Completes First Year Partnership With Greenwave Reality
Energy suppliers, E.ON, has announced it has completed the first 12 months of a partnership with GreenWave Reality to offer residents the opportunity to stop wasting energy, improve their comfort, and even live a more convenient life while reducing their carbon footprint.
Developed with GreenWave Reality, the global smart home innovator, E.ON's technology solution allows E.ON customers to measure individual electrical appliance usage through smart plugs, meaning participants can easily monitor and control the energy use of their TV, PC, washing machine or fridge.
Over the last 12 months, E.ON has been trialling the Smart Home technology in 75 homes in the Thinking Energy project in Milton Keynes. Through partnership with Milton Keynes Council and National Energy Foundation (NEF), the insights and data collected have provided an insight into households' behaviour towards energy. At the mid-point in the two year trial, over three-quarters of people have changed the way they use energy in their homes, some saving up to £200 off their annual electricity bill.
Chris Rimmer, Programme Manager for E.ON Thinking Energy, said: "Our innovative partnership with GreenWave Reality is helping us understand how consumers can manage their lives through smart home technology that is simple and easy to use.
"We've been really excited about the feedback and insights received from the Milton Keynes trial about the solution we have developed with our partners."
The technology works for both gas and electricity via E.ON smart meters and provides a wide range of interactive tools and tips on energy use. Presenting minute-by-minute visibility in their energy use, the trial households are able to securely view the data via a web browser, tablet and smartphone app.
Chris Rimmer, E.ON, continued: "The GreenWave Reality platform is a great fit to meet E.ON's objectives .We're focused on deepening our understanding of the future of energy use in the home and by collaborating with innovative partners such as GreenWave Reality, we're excited to pioneer these sorts of experiences with our customers."
Greg Memo, CEO, GreenWave Reality, said: "GreenWave Reality is excited about our partnership with E.ON. They are a visionary partner with whom we are delivering a breakthrough solution that enables their customers to reduce energy consumption and improve their lifestyles."
