EnergyAware, the Vancouver based company, has found success in the sales of their PowerTabs, devices used to measure electrical usage and the cost associated with the usage levels. The device, simple in nature, encourages the reduction of electrical use while providing a sense of corporate appeal towards server.
However, these devices are directly associated with Smart Meters, an apparatus used to record and wirelessly transmit usage data to the electrical supplier. The budding concern regarding the use of Smart Meters and the resistance for conformity among customers may provide as an opposing force to EnergyAware’s growth.
I am interested to see whether the dependency of EnergyAware on the Smart Meter program will bring as much success as anticipated.
