| Objectives | The project will address a perception that customers are increasingly interested in how their energy is made up. We continue to see the adoption of Solar and Wind generation and as such being able to tell a customer what the mix is like at any point in time is deemed valuable. Having created an app and website we will then test with local groups before a cross WPD implementation enabling customers to see their generation mix and allow for their own generation as well. Once this is available to all, we will then measure interest across the WPD area. Success will be measured within the trials and then monitored once live. We will also be monitoring how we can make the calculation more accurate over time. | |
| Abstract | Giving visibility of generation mix to customers. There is currently no mechanism for telling a customer how the generation in their area is made. We feel that by providing a mechanism for them to find out that this will act as: A catalyst for more information about generation A potential new avenue into the community and those customers with an interest of where the energy they use comes from. In addition we also feel that this project could also help with the engagement and use of Demand Side Management- allowing customers to see the impact of using their LCTs and possibly shifting their load.Note : Project Documents may be available via the ENA Smarter Networks Portal using the Website link above | |
