Features

Find the best energy tariff

PowerShaper can compare the energy data from your smart meter over the last year against a range of commercial smart and time-of-use tariffs to identify the best options and quantify savings.

Smart tariff rates change depending on the time of day, which can make it difficult to work out costs based on previous bills. PowerShaper profiles your usage for every 30min period, to give you an accurate picture.

Flexible and open

Download your half-hourly smart meter gas and electricity records, including historic data regardless of any change in energy supplier. This data can build the business case for the installation of solar or battery storage, as well as helping quatify the size and likely operational cost of electrified heating

Not-for-profit and transparent

We will never sell your data or share it with other organisations without your express permission. Your data will be kept securely and only used to improve energy savings when it is anonymised and aggregated with others. You are free to opt-out at any time.
