A new tool aimed at helping businesses identify where energy is being used and potential savings has been launched.

EDF Energy has partnered with MeasureMyEnergy (MME) to launch PowerNow, a cloud-based analytics platform that gives customers an itemised view of their energy usage and spending across different sites, office floors, factory zones and specific heating and lighting circuits.

It also acts as an alert system to inform businesses if their equipment uses more energy than it should.

The energy supplier is using the platform at one of its buildings in Crawley and expects to achieve a 15% annual savings on energy consumption.

Vincent De Rul, Director of Energy Solutions at EDF Energy said: “Our partnership with MeasureMyEnergy will provide business managers with the means to save their companies money and drive down carbon emissions.”
