Email from a reader on reducing power consumption
Hi Jean, Thanks for your newsletter.
We at WattWatchers believe a large contribution to reducing emissions and energy (electricity) consumption can come from households and light commercial users – about 8.5 million of them.
Our Smart Monitoring Initiative is about a product & service that gives real time information to users about their energy and emissions use, and the know-how to recognise bad habits and change them.
The insights that consumers will get from their WattWatcher complement initiatives like – better valuing the benefits to installing insulation, or changing hot water systems and air conditioning.
Even before any of that is realised we estimate that user will save 10%-30% on their electricity bills by simply being conscious of their historical energy consumption.
And, with prices rises of 50%+ over the next 2-3 years, the direct savings on buying electricity alone are huge.
We believe that energy efficiency is a significant starting point, quick to achieve and easy to sustain, and necessary to avoid growth in emissions and generation.
Regards
Paul Wiszniak
