FEEDBACK motivated electricity saving in houses based on visualizaton and new measuring technique

In 1,452 households with remote-read meters in the Syd Energi supply area, customers received regular feedback on their electricity consumption via SMS or e-mail in a pilot project. The subsequent evaluation revealed average electricity savings of 3% for the most efficient setups, compared to a control group that did not receive feedback. The objective to develop equipment for frequent feedback to NOE customers based electricity consumption measurements at meter level could not be completed according to the project intentions, and this part was therefore solely completed as a pilot test for 20 households which achieved energy savings of 8%.
