by Rebecca Walker — July 3, 2009—eMeter Corporation, a global leader in Smart Grid management software, has introduced Energy Engage, an online, consumer engagement solution that encourages conservation by enabling users to understand the relationship between energy consumption, cost and carbon output.
Pilot participants with PowerCentsDC will be the first to actively manage their energy consumption with Energy Engage. PowerCentsDC is a publicprivate partnership program backed by Pepco and consumer and regulatory bodies in Washington D.C. that is testing how much electricity consumers can save using key Smart Grid technologies.
Energy Engage uniquely empowers utility companies to help consumers manage their energy usage with, for the first time, accurate daily billing information, real-time event driven alerts to budget variations and access to local community guidance and advice, says the company.
Providing detailed yet digestible information on energy consumption levels, Energy Engage illustrates the relationship between usage, cost and environmental impact. Consumers will benefit from more insight and control over their energy use, including notifications of power outages, tools to budget energy bills, and industry and community tips on lowering costs.
