Onzo

In the UK, Onzo has been explaining that the benefits to the consumer of basic smart meters have been exaggerated and that they should be supplemented by means of providing compelling and actionable information on energy usage. In New Zealand, this argument has been accepted by the government. There the Parliamentary Commissioner for the Environment and the Energy Minister have described the new generation of power meters as “dumb meters” and insisted that suppliers offer their customers proper tools to help them manage their consumption. This broadcast item from New Zealand’s 3 News television channel discusses the issue, and shows the Environment Commissioner making her point using the Onzo display.
