Resumo(s)
With transformations happening in the electricity
sector, we need to ensure consumers have access to updated and
correct information to accompany such changes. Consumers need
to understand technologies available to them but also, learn how
to use them to optimize their personal investment in such types
of equipment. In this paper, we explore how a group of local pro sumers has adopted energy monitoring technologies, their day to-day strategies, and expectations when handling such systems.
We studied 11 prosumers and the technologies they have used
for three years, evaluated their satisfaction with the feedback
provided and analyzed how a more modern visualization of their
energy practices was introduced and adopted into their daily
lives. We conducted interviews and questionnaires to evaluate
their engagement with these tools. This initial work suggests this
particular group of users have already a high level of knowledge
about their systems, and as a result have integrated these into
their routines. However, more support would be needed from
other local actors to help them reach more benefits and as such,
more satisfaction as consumers. We conclude by reflecting on
barriers that need to be addressed to increase user satisfaction
with these systems.
