Benefits of technology
carbonTRACK’s platform unlocks multiple revenue streams for Independent System Operators (ISOs), energy aggregators, renewable energy financiers and energy traders. By integrating hardware, network infrastructure, control systems with its powerful machine learning and predictive engine which uses highly secure cellular communication, carbonTRACK provides low cost, reliable and scalable energy intelligence.
Blue NRG, a business-only electricity retailer, has decided to partner with Melbourne-based energy management platform carbontrack in a union that Spiros Livadaras, carbontrack’s Managing Director, admits is somewhat surprising. “Obviously people are saying, why would a retailer join forces with an energy management technology company that helps them reduce their energy consumption – it’s kind of counterintuitive,” he told pv magazine Australia.
Business-only electricity retailer Blue NRG has partnered with Australian smart energy innovator carbonTRACK to provide its customers with tools to remotely monitor and control their energy consumption.
As of February 2021, Australian-owned and operated energy retailer Blue NRG is offering its business customers access to carbonTRACK’s Energy Management System to help them reduce their electricity bills.
Australian energy retailer upstart Mojo Power has joined forces with energy management company Carbontrack, to give its customers the ability to monitor and control their electricity usage remotely and gain better control over power costs.
