According to the two firms’ agreement, Fortum’s customers will get real-time metering and monitoring of their energy consumption as part of Fortum’s overall service.
BaseN will complement Fortum as a partner in a new joint city living project, by realizing a real-time monitoring system for electricity, water and heating energy for an energy efficient apartment block to be built in Espoo, near Helsinki.
The joint project in eco-efficient city living known as Espoo Adjutantti is part of the smart grid and energy market research program, central to which are new technology and services. Of equal importance to the program are studies into customers’ user experiences and of the overall practicality of the entire concept, which will help ensure its functionality.
