\u201cThe greenest energy is the one you don\u2019t use. Our product helps people use less energy by giving them a much more detailed overview of what they\u2019re consuming.\u201d<\/p>\n
Erik Berg Solheim, CEO of Norwegian energy data specialist Oss Norge, is explaining how his company\u2019s flagship product is helping contribute to a greener, more sustainable society in his home country.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere is a green wave in Norway, as there is in many countries,\u201d continues Solheim. \u201cAnd that is driven by the desire to meet the needs and challenges of tomorrow. At Oss Norge, we want to be part of that drive. We want to be part of the solution, not the problem.\u201d<\/p>\n
The company\u2019s plug-in-and-play smart meter adaptor \u2018Oss-Brikken\u2019 uses Microsoft Azure IoT technology to give energy users a detailed breakdown of how much electricity they\u2019re using, including where and when they\u2019re using it. The Oss-Brikken device is already helping businesses and direct customers to better monitor their energy usage and adapt their behaviour \u2013 and it is has only just been launched.<\/p>\n
\u201cOur hope is that we can have an impact beyond the Nordics,\u201d says Solheim.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf you can make a concept like this work in Norway, with the lowest energy prices in Europe and the greenest energy, then it should be able to work in other countries too.\u201d<\/p>\n
