Open banking for energy
The premise of open energy is much like open banking. Through collaboration with your bank, open energy data has the potential to save lots of money. This is something that is reinforced by Håkan Ludvigson, CEO and co-founder of Eliq. Ludvigson said: “We need to talk about Open Energy Data. We want to empower 1 billion individuals to be part of the home energy transition for a greener and more affordable energy future. We see immense potential in the wealth of energy data at our disposal, and with the transformative force of digitalisation, along with the recent EU directive underlining the importance of this, we’re changing the way we understand home energy usage.”
