Empowering project & solution
A success story
Project: Empowering customers to save energy by informative billing
SUMMARY
EMPOWERING’s success story is the result of the convergence of a favourable market, appropriate technological capabilities and a highly competent team:
- Liberalisation of the energy market has created the competitive conditions necessary, by pushing the energy suppliers to offer more value-added services to their clients.
- The massive roll-out of smart meters has increased enormously the possibility of services to help consumers optimise their energy use, save money, and reduce their environmental impact.
- The 2012 Energy Efficiency Directive (EED) was also a key driver that contributed to launching these services through the energy savings commitments affecting energy utility companies (annual energy savings of 1.5%).
