See all Motoring AdviceSSE Airtricity, Ireland's leading energy provider, has introduced a new intelligent app designed to optimise home energy usage, reduce costs, and support the nation's transition to a sustainable future.
What is EnergiHub?
EnergiHub is an innovative energy management platform that uses artificial intelligence to optimise the operation of various home energy devices, including electric vehicles (EVs), EV chargers, solar panels and more. By intelligently scheduling energy consumption during periods of low demand and high renewable availability, EnergiHub ensures efficient and cost-effective energy usage for your home. Helping you to maximise your renewable energy use and minimise your energy costs.
How does EnergiHub benefit Electric Vehicle drivers?
EnergiHub will communicate with your vehicle and home charger via the intelligent mobile app to ensure it charges during off-peak periods.
This alone can reduce EV charging costs by over 75%. For instance, a customer driving 12,000 km annually could save approximately €674.25 by optimising charging times to off-peak hours.
You’ll also get a market leading low rate of 5 cents per kWh (ex VAT) for at least four hours, when you charge your car with EnergiHub optimisation between 11pm and 8am.
Monitor your vehicles charging progress in real time and even schedule charges, so you’re always ready to go. If you do need to charge in a hurry, you can easily ‘Boost’ to switch back to regular charging and pay at a standard rate anytime via the app.
Supporting Ireland's Sustainable Goals
As well as financial benefits to consumers, EnergiHub also contributes to the broader goal of reducing Ireland's carbon footprint, by facilitating smarter energy consumption and promoting the use of renewable resources.
Conor Wilson from SSE Airtricity said: “Since launching, we’ve seen EnergiHub users save over €45 per month on their EV charging, all while contributing to a greener planet. EnergiHub represents the next wave of innovation in the EV space, and we’re excited to be at the cutting edge of this movement.”
