A 拢120,000 grant from the Department of Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy鈥檚 Industrial Strategy Fund has been awarded to 果冻影院-Energy in partnership with energy supplier Igloo Energy.

There is already available vast amount of energy, property and socio-economic data freely available in the UK alongside energy and contextual data. The grant will enable the creation of an inventory of the data sets and an investigation into their quality. Once created, Machine Learning techniques will then be used to process the data and derive insight into consumer behaviour that will describe how a customer鈥檚 energy consumption pattern relates to their lifestyle and property; and the relationship between consumption and energy spend and expenditure on energy efficient home improvements.

The 果冻影院 Energy Institute is committed to undertaking industrially relevant research to support the decarbonisation of the UK energy system and we are excited to be partnering with Igloo on this project. We hope to demonstrate the ability of machine learning to develop customer insights that can benefit UK energy users, saving them money, and support innovative new business models that reduce carbon emissions.鈥
