The platform also suggests modifications in energy usage patterns for further cost reductions, while exploring additional flexibility options. By using machine learning and data-driven approaches, the platform provides customised, industry-specific advice based on analysis of historical and real-time consumption data, filling a market gap for specialised tariff analysis tools. Future Energy Associates Ltd: Owner: Future Energy Associates Ltd Amount: PS26,732.26 Location: London Project summary: Bundled Business Led Tariffs is a software-based project that aims to revolutionise the energy market for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) by creating a dynamic marketplace for energy tariffs. The platform leverages the power of data science to match businesses' consumption profiles with suppliers' tariff offers, enabling a more efficient, transparent, and competitive market. Gridimp Ltd: Owner: Gridimp Ltd Participating organisations: Business Cost Reduction Associates Ltd ta BCR Associates Amount: PS49,684.46 Location: Wells Project summary: The project consortium will create a price comparison framework which allows small non-domestic consumers to easily compare smart tariffs. The comparison will take into consideration the consumers own ability to flex their loads. The platform user will use a simple web-based interface to select their type of flex (HVAC, EVs or Battery Storage) and choose two or more tariffs to compare. Hildebrand Technology Ltd: Owner: Hildebrand Technology Ltd Participating organisations: davies+mckerr, SE2 Ltd, Working Research Ltd Amount: PS49,571.68 Location: London Project summary: Project FAST (Flexibility for AMR and smart meters via tariffs (ToU and bundled)) will build on proven functionality from the previous Smarter Tariffs Smarter Comparison (STSC) domestic tool (built by project lead Hildebrand), which solves the critical technical challenge of using smart meter data to present complex tariff options and/ or LCT investment for domestic customers. Project FAST will extend STSC to address non-domestic market transformation challenges, focusing on supporting flexibility from SME customers and reforming markets to reward flexibility. Utilidex Ltd: Owner: Utilidex Ltd Participating organisations: SSE Utility Solutions Limited, SSE Energy Supply Limited, Unit 9 Limited, University of Reading Amount: PS46,204.54 Location: Stoke-on-Trent Project summary: The project will develop a cutting-edge solution that revolutionizes the way customers compare tariffs, particularly targeting time-of-use (TOU) tariffs within the non-domestic sector. By harnessing the power of smart meter data, the project aims to create a data driven tool that empowers non-domestic energy consumers to make informed decisions when selecting the most suitable tariff for their unique requirements.",
