La Nouvelle Vague
What do they have in common?
● Digital solutions
● Seek to have a real impact
● Big Purpose - and SDGs - built into their business
● Nudging -> change people’s behavior
The War on Talent is on
● 47% of millennials say that the purpose of business is to ‘improve
society/protect the environment' up 30% over the last two years (Deloitte)
● by 2014, 83% of MBA students polled said they’d take a 15% pay cut “for a job
that makes a social or environmental difference in the word.”
● Purpose-driven companies outperform the market more than 10 to 1 over a
15-year period.
● Purpose-driven companies have a 300% boost in number of employees who
consider themselves fully engaged with the company
● employees at purpose-driven companies are more likely to embrace innovation
and identify more strongly with the company
The Energytech Revolution
Toward a Conscious & Active Consumption of electricity
The Underlying Problem//The Market
The Electricity market
is not functioning
Regulation//The EU vision
Energy efficiency, EU's global
leadership in renewables & a fair
deal for energy consumers
The Solution regulated by EU
Smart Meters + Hourly Pricing
= conscious consumption
The Opportunity
Timing for an EnergyTech
Revolution is right
The Time is Now
● More & more data available - cf. DataHub
● Push on EU level for Hourly Pricing/Spot Price
● Push on EU level to roll out smart meters in DK/Europe
● Consumers are looking for solutions to help them make
the right choices <-> climate change consciousness
So, where do we start?
Start with the Vision
Our Vision
Empower Users
Empower Users
● We “share” our electricity supplier license with all our
customers
● Tech’ as THE enabler
The Challenge
Electricity is
Complicated & Boring
People don’t trust electricity suppliers
How do we address that Challenge?
With strong & clear Values
Let’s make Electricity Easy, Fair & Fun.
Easy like...
● Mobile-first... paperless & no laptop needed
● Super intuitive UX & sleek design
● We speak a language that people understand
Fair like...
● We only offer true Spot Price → we do not make any profit on your
consumption
● Our only revenue is a monthly subscription fee of 29 kr. - no hidden
fees, no BS
● We charge you as quickly as possible after consumption -> daily
payments
Fun like...
● Who says that dealing with your electricity provider
should be boring?
A conscious - and flexible - consumption
Sure… but how?
Real-time ledger technology
Product innovation: “Pay as you Go”
● You transfer whatever amount you want on
your (Barry) electricity-account
● You will always now how much you owe since
the last time you paid
● See your daily/weekly/monthly payments
No more bad surprise with electricity bills… especially at the end of a
cold winter or after renting your apartment out to a friend/airbnb!
Value proposition
Nudging users: consumption alerts
● Make our users aware of their consumption:
changes, evolution, etc.
● Possibility to customize notifications
Nudging users: market signals
● Make our users aware of what is flowing in their
sockets
○ Price
○ CO2 emissions-level
○ % of renewable energy
● Help them to have a flexible consumption
Nudging users: CO2 emissions
● Use of predictive data -> push notifications
to impact behavior
● Accounting: see how much CO2 your
household has emitted through electricity
consumption
● Gamifying consumption: running “CO2
emissions-challenges”
Can we do more?
Democratizing CO2 compensation
● Data-driven approach
● Nudge, count & offer option to “clean up”
● A smooth UX, built into the app
