Sweden - Use the existing electricity meter in order to clearly show power needs of your house, apartment or in your business
Your electricity meter is not only an energy meter, that records your electricity use in kWh (kilowatt hours) and that provides a basis for bills from your energy supplier and your network owners. It can also be used to identify different power outputs in kW (kilowatts) in the house, apartment or in a small company. Electricity meters will therefore be a very valuable tool to learn
power requirements for electrical equipment.
Unnecessary consumption of electricity, ie electricity which is not really needed, is more common than one might think. Vattenfall has recently changed electricity meters to all electricity customers in Sweden to a cost of several billion, but without educating the users how they can benefit from its new electricity meters. Reading of their power outputs is very simple and takes only a few minutes. When purchasing energy efficiency equipment can simply a check be made directly after installation. The owner does not need to wait to see their electricity bills decrease in costs. Swedish Energy Agency: framjande@energimyndigheten.se
