Engineers Picnic

UCD Engineering Graduates Association and UCD Engineering will host a picnic as part of a Gathering event to reach out to UCD Engineering graduates working abroad and at home. ENI are also presenting at the event!

ENI Smart Communities

ENI recognises that Ireland’s Smart Energy Future is not only dependent on the rollout of Smart Grid infrastructure. A Smarter Energy Network involves the smart usage of all resources by each member of the Community Network. For this reason, ENI has conceptualized ENI Smart Communities- a website capable of assisting residential consumers in reducing their consumption of electricity. ENI Smart Communities is based on two main concepts: Social Pressure and Competition. The website will allow the user to compare their electricity usage to the average and most efficient levels of consumption within their local area and throughout the country of Ireland as a whole. Residential consumers will also be able to rank their usage with respect to their peers on Household Leaderboards. On a larger scale ENI Smart Communities will also target communities of residential consumers using Community Leaderboards. This feature will aggregate the performance users within local areas and rank performance with respect to other communities within the country. A prototype website of ENI Smart Communities has been developed and is available at the link below.

Interim Survey Report

Survey
One of the major areas that Energy Needs Ireland (ENI) wishes to address is the Irish consumer. ENI hope to gauge consumer opinion by looking at the ways in which the Smart Grid can benefit the Irish consumer to the fullest.

To date, ENI have carried out a survey of over 400 Irish residential consumers, which shows public opinion and their openness regarding the Smart Grid, Smart Meters and In Home Displays (IHD). An interim report of the survey results can be found at the link below.

Gauging Consumer Opinion

One of the key targets of Energy Needs Ireland is to investigate exactly how much the public know about Smart Grid, Smart Meters, and what they want from them.

If you are a full time resident of Ireland, and involved in the payment of your electricity bills and have 10 minutes, fill in this survey, to help out Energy Needs Ireland and their research with a chance to win a smart phone!
