Finding the right electricity plan can feel like navigating a maze blindfolded. Have you ever spent hours comparing plans, only to end up more confused than when you started? We've all been there—scrolling through endless terms, feeling hoodwinked by complicated jargon, and wondering if there's a better deal just out of reach.
Welcome to Automised Energy, where our mission is to turn that frustration into empowerment. We automatically calculate the best-fit electricity plan for your household and check daily to ensure you’re always on the best deal. But how did we get here? Let me share our story.
It all started with a simple question: Would switching to a time-of-use tariff save me money? So, I started looking around and found... confusion. Untrustworthy comparison sites that get referral fees from retailers, sales calls bombarding me after using those sites telling me different things to the last, and the vagueness of being lumped into a 'typical usage' box. What does it all mean? Do I need a degree to figure this out? 🤯
Trying the DIY approach with spreadsheets and data from my retailer was a nightmare, too, with over 500 plan variants available to my postcode. Imagine me, late at night, surrounded by charts and graphs, desperately trying to make sense of it all. It didn't stop me from trying, though 😆.
In addition to needing to identify my optimal plan, I discovered by chance that half of my solar panels hadn't been working for over 9 months! That is a lot of excess energy usage and reduced feed-in tariff. One quick call and that was fixed—but it was 9 months too late.
As a software engineer, I knew it would be possible to automate calculations to easily take care of these complex problems for me, but development would take time. I really wanted to answer my original question about time-of-use tariffs, though, so I gritted my teeth and got stuck in 😤. By harnessing the power of data, I created a tool that could accurately calculate the best-fit plan for my unique usage. After testing it out, I discovered significant savings—and so did my friends. Not just savings through finding the optimal plan, but also through identifying potential faults & misconfigurations that otherwise go undetected!
