EcoWatt

The EcoWatt signal is the “weather forecast” of the Grid for France.

NOTE: Here Grid refers to the main electrical grid that provides the generated electricity to the distribution unit connected to our homes.

It gives out 3 different levels of status, at the national level, updated every hour, with 48 hours forecast data. EcoWatt allows you to know the moments when eco-gestures have the greatest impact on the electrical system.

IMPORTANT: EcoWatt feature is applicable only for customers in France.

Send notifications about the grid status.
Send alerts if there is a risk of power cut.
Provides eco-gestures to consume better electricity.
Helps to save electricity during periods of high consumption.
