RWE npower is buying the Welsh energy management company RUMM in a move to help British businesses with energy efficiency measures.
npower Business Solutions, which is the second largest supplier of energy to British businesses, will roll out RUMM’s software to its biggest customers in Q2 2015, with the goal of delivering energy efficiency at scale. npower Business Solutions serves over 238,000 small to medium sized enterprise sites and around 22,000 industrial and commercial customers, with over 100,000 sites.
Developed as the result of work at the University of South Wales, RUMM’s proprietary software, IBASS, captures and stores energy usage data every half-hour to identify potential inefficiencies on customers’ sites. The software provides the basis to enable significant energy reduction and has the capability to offer switch-off measures. RUMM’S software is also integral to its behavioral approach to energy management.
RUMM targets customers that have energy bills larger than $371,000 per year, primarily in the manufacturing and utility sectors.
