Type of service Frequent information to consumer and feedback

Description

Historical and recent information (not real-time) about the home energy usage, benchmark with others, comparisons with the own previous consumption or with average consumption data for the same segment, provides tips on energy efficiency (more effective if based on own and real information), and might establish targets for the month or year

Type of service

Real time information to consumer and feedback

Description

Provides information in real time (if directly connected to the meter at home), almost real time (if it is returned by the Telemanagement system), aiming at a fast consumer response

Type of service Demand response

Description

Changes in electricity (or heat) usage by end-use customers compared to their normal consumption patterns in response to: a) changes in the price of electricity over time, or b) to incentive payments designed to induce lower electricity use at times of high wholesale market prices or when production or distribution system reliability is jeopardized
