E.ON and Opower launch 'Saving Energy Toolkit'

Energy company E.ON has partnered with Opower, the global leader in customer engagement solutions for the utility industry, to launch the ‘Saving Energy Toolkit’ – a data set that will help customers understand and transform their home energy usage.

Available to E.ON customers, the online Saving Energy Toolkit provides an insightful analysis of a household’s energy use, including where and when energy is being used with a breakdown of costs and information on how they compare to other customers in their local area.

The tool compares a household’s electricity and/or gas use with around 100 anonymous E.ON customers with homes of a similar size and type, and against the most energy efficient homes in their local area.
It also provides comparisons of how each household’s energy use stacks up to these homes in order to encourage positive behavioural change and represents information in simple graph comparisons so people are able to easily identify where they can make energy savings.

Opower’s platform has already had a huge impact on customers around the world, particularly in its home market of North America.
