Smart Energy GB, the not-for-profit campaign supporting the understanding of smart meters and their benefits, engaged with Cornwall Insight in partnership with Dr Jeff Hardy of Imperial College London to explore the potential opportunities and impacts for smaller businesses and their customers from the uptake of smart meters and associated smarter and innovative business models.
In this thought leadership report, we examined new interactions and collaborations between smaller business customers and parties within the energy market through three case studies that characterise new opportunities. Using archetypal companies, we examined a range of benefits from tariff matchmaking, energy as a service through optimisation of on-site assets, to time of use EV tariffs.
The team used the archetypes to highlight the key challenges that can arise for smaller businesses in engaging with the energy market, with the report published on the Smart Energy GB website.
