Enervee provides a platform on which consumers can make more energy-efficient choices on household appliances, devices, and electronics through a comprehensive scoring process that compares the efficiency of a product with all those in a specific category.
A spokesperson for Enervee said from a technical point of view the platform could be ready for use in the UK “in as little as eight weeks”. Although it is expected by the end of the year, the conversation with Eon as to when exactly the platform will hit UK shores is “ongoing”.
A final decision on an exact start date is expected in the next two months.
The platform will provide customers with cost of use information in an understandable format, combined with a marketplace that Eon’s senior vice president for technology and innovation Susana Quintana-Plaza said will: “be able to give our customers even greater support in making choices that save energy.”
The platform also compares the resulting ‘Enervee Score’ with popularity and review information to help customers make informed and easy purchasing.
Enervee chief executive and founder Matthias Kurwig said: “Providing easily accessible information about the total cost (purchase price and cost of use) alongside environmental impact empowers consumers to take better decisions, especially when that information is seamlessly integrated in the marketplace at the time of purchase.”
“The Enervee Score, along with the marketplaces we build for our partners, make it easy and compelling for consumers to act on real knowledge and will transform the way we all shop for any product that uses power.”
