Aligned with New York’s REV goals
Con Edison partnered with Enervee in 2016 to launch the Con Edison Marketplace, Solar Concierge, and Cars Choice Engine as a Reforming the Energy Vision (REV) Demonstration Project. The goal: empower customers with actionable information to make informed energy choices. Since launch, the platforms have been well received by customers across New York City and Westchester.
Efficient product shopping
The Con Edison Marketplace makes it easy to choose efficient products across 24 categories. Since 2016, the platform has hosted 2.8M+ sessions and more than 60,000 hours of customer engagement. By combining the Enervee Score® with personalized bill impacts, customers quickly identify the most efficient products. Through 2018 alone, over 220,000 purchases were attributable to the Marketplace.
“The Con Edison Marketplace has proven its ability to nudge customers toward efficient products—and the majority of energy savings are achieved without incentives,” said Cristina Coltro, Con Edison Marketplace program manager.
An independent assessment of the platform’s energy savings has wrapped and will be published soon.
