According to a survey conducted by the Pulsee Luce and Gas Index, in collaboration with NielsenIQ, over 40% of users have already saved up to 10% on their bills by using energy consumption monitoring tools. These tools have become essential for Italian households looking to reduce energy costs, especially during a period of high volatility in energy markets. The study focused on how people manage their energy consumption and what actions they take to live more sustainably.
Why energy consumption monitoring is crucial for saving costs
Although 90% of Italians express the desire to reduce their energy consumption, more than 60% have only a rough idea of their household energy usage. This percentage rises to 93% when it comes to the specific energy consumption of household appliances. This highlights a significant lack of awareness, which could be addressed through the adoption of energy consumption monitoring tools. Currently, 72% of respondents use energy control apps, with highly positive results in terms of consumption reduction.
Tools and strategies for effective energy consumption monitoring
The use of energy consumption monitoring tools has increased energy awareness for 55% of users. Nearly 40% of Italians have changed their habits, reducing the use of high-energy appliances such as washing machines and ovens. Moreover, 58% of respondents have shown a strong interest in receiving personalized advice from their energy supplier, with a preference for using apps (32%) over traditional billing methods (26%).
Energimetro and Luce Limit.e: Practical responses to rising energy costs
Among the most effective tools, Energimetro stands out as a feature integrated into the Pulsee Luce and Gas app, allowing users to monitor the energy consumption of household appliances in near real-time.
