📣 An exciting update for equiwatt! 🤝 We’re delighted to announce our new partnership contract with ScottishPower, part of the Iberdrola Group - one of the world’s largest integrated utility companies and a global leader in wind energy. ⚡ The collaboration aims to transform how ScottishPower customers manage their electricity consumption through our innovative and market-leading ‘virtual power plant’ technology and the cutting-edge Power Saver App. 📊 By seamlessly connecting to ScottishPower’s customer’s smart meters the Power Saver App gives them a straightforward way to participate in peak time energy events, including National Grid ESO’s Demand Flexibility Service (DFS) and the EQUINOX Project for heat pump owners, enabling them to earn rewards, cut carbon emissions and lower their energy bills. 🔔 Once set up, the Power Saver App notifies customers to participate in peak time energy events and rewards them with points for reducing their energy usage by performing simple actions such as turning off or avoiding the use of household appliances. These points can then be redeemed for a range of rewards including high street shopping vouchers or charity donations. As well as providing benefits to households, the Power Saver App is also designed to contribute to the larger goal of improving the management and balancing of the UK’s collective electricity demand something that aligns with both company's visions. 🔗 Read more about the partnership here: https://lnkd.in/e7EsQv5r . . . #energynews #energyindustry #partnership #collaboration #demandsidemanagement #energyefficiency #energyinnovation #virtualpowerplants #startup

⚡ The DFS is returning!⚡ We were thrilled to read National Grid ESO's announcement last week that it is evolving and expanding its Demand Flexibility Service (DFS) into a year-round commercial service! Why This Matters: 🗓️ Year-Round Flexibility: By operating throughout the year, DFS will provide consistent opportunities for participation for households and help the domestic flexibility market grow. 🏘️ Consumer Empowerment: Households will be able to continue playing their part and get rewarded for using their electricity more flexibly whilst supporting grid stability. 🍃 Environmental Impact: By participating in DFS, consumers contribute to a reduction in fossil fuel usage, promoting sustainable energy practices, something that will help the UK reach its Net Zero targets. At equiwatt, we're dedicated to expanding our services and platform to ensure even more households can participate in the DFS and other energy flexibility programs, which makes this brilliant news for us. 📞 If your business wants to participate in the next DFS, add value to your customers and support a cleaner energy future, we would love to speak with you about how we can help you achieve your goals via our pioneering Virtual Power Plant technology.
