NB Power is claiming a new personalized home energy report tool will help customers save money.
Director of Customer Relations Jill Doucette says this report will allow residential customers to be more aware about how they are using their electricity.
“We have the tagline of why pay for electricity you don’t need, or don’t use?,” says Doucette. “And this will help people understand better how they are using electricity and give an opportunity for them to learn more about ways to conserve.”
Doucette says the personalized report will be compared to your neighbours.
“The neighbour is really not your next door neighbour, but an aggreggation of housing stock similar to that, who would be experiencing the same kinds of weather impacts and so on,” says Doucette. “And determine whether you’re higher or lower than that group of housing.”
The program will cost about $1 million per year, and is expected to reduce user bills by an average of 3% annually.
