Enhancing Energy Consumption Insights with Fortum's Global App
Fortum's award-winning app is getting even better! With our new energy consumption insights we enable customers to understand and manage their electricity consumption. By providing personalized estimates and smart solutions, the app empowers users to make informed decisions and optimize their energy usage.
Personalized consumption data
Fortum's latest app is transforming the way consumers interact with their electricity consumption data.
— The app allows users to create a household profile, specifying the types of appliances they have and how their home is heated. This detailed information enables the app to generate personalized estimates of each appliance's electricity consumption, providing users with a visualized understanding of their energy usage, Oscar Dristig is explaining. He has been leading the new development as the Senior Manager, Digital Offering for consumers.
— One of the key benefits of this app is its ability to help consumers identify areas where they can save money. By offering tips and tricks, as well as comparing their consumption data with similar households, users can find opportunities to reduce their energy usage and lower their bills. Additionally, the app includes EV smart charging functionality and is developing smart heating solutions, which will further enhance its capabilities and help customers optimize their consumption, he continues.
What can we expect going forward?
Fortum's new global app is currently available in Finland and Sweden, with plans to launch in Norway soon. By harmonizing the development in the app, Fortum ensures that all customers in the Nordics have access to the same advanced features, allowing Fortum to develop new solutions more efficiently.
The app's state-of-the-art technology stack, leveraging TypeScript, React Native, GraphQL, and Azure infrastructure, also provides a flexible and cost-effective solution that caters to the needs of a modern digital organization.
Oscar emphasizes;
— The goal of the app is to make consumers aware of their electricity usage and provide guidance on how to optimize it. By leveraging smart solutions and providing relevant insights, Fortum aims to help users consume energy in a smarter way, aligning with the company's brand image and expertise. As the app continues to evolve, users can expect even more innovative features, such as smart- and flexibility services to enhance their energy usage.
— The ultimate goal is to use energy in a smarter and more efficient way, on the benefit of both the customer, our businesses and the society as a whole, he concludes.
