Solicitor for the Applicant 9 W ednesday , D ecem ber 1, 2010 O A KVILLE BEA V ER w w w .o akvillebeaver .co m By Dominik Kurek OAKVILLE BEAVER STAFF Oakville-based PowerWatch, an energy monitoring systems maker, recently signed a deal in India that will help hundreds of thousands of people conserve electricity. The company signed a deal to begin a rollout of its product to some of the 10 million residential cus- tomers with North Delhi Power Limited (NDPL). The rollout will be phased in, starting with 100,000 cus- tomers, followed by another 100,000 and so on. Its section by section, but we have a large phase rollout planned for all of North Delhi Power, said PowerWatch co-owner and CEO Janeen Stodulski. Stodulski said she is unsure how many of NDPL customers will eventu- ally get her companys monitoring system. I hope they put it in all of the res- idential facilities in all of the areas, she said. Id like to get all of India in total, all of the utility companies. Were also looking at Iran, Iraq, Kuwait and then from there were going to look at Brazil. But right now, were focusing on India because it is one of the fastest growing economic markets. Were focusing on Delhi and then Mumbai, which is known as Bombay. The monitoring system allows users to see their electricity usage and cost in real time. It is a two-piece device, one being installed on the elec- tric meter, which sends a wireless sig- nal to the other device, an iPad pre- loaded with monitoring software. The iPad displays how much electricity is being used and what it is costing. It has information such as how much an electric bill is so far and how much it will be at the usage rate and more. She said this knowledge leads peo- ple to reduce between five and 10 per cent of their electricity costs. Really, by turning things off, not sitting watching TV with 20 lights on in the home, people actually reduce, she said. People start to see it and theyre like Oh my God, how much is that costing me? What did that just cost. And its funny. It becomes addictive. When you first get it in your home, people run around and they turn everything on. They want to see How high can I go? But when I leave my house I know it should not be more than 400 watts, if it is something is on, something that should not be on is on. This is very important technology in India, said Stodulski, because half of electricity use is stolen. People lit- erally take power cables from peoples roofs and from hydro lines and use it for themselves. This technology allows people to monitor their elec- tric use and in turn become aware of it being taken elsewhere. She said the technology does not reduce power use, but it has the potential of changing peoples use. Everyone is all for technology, and believe me, we are all about tech- nology. But the second factor has to be human behavioural change and you cant change your behaviour if you dont know what it is, she said. She said if something is out of sight, it is out of mind. Thats why the iPad is dedicated to constantly show- ing power usage data. When Im in my home, I need to see what Im doing when Im there, she said. Im not going to walk over to my computer and log on. I provide that capability, its there. Our technol- ogy allows you to do that. But its that tablet, that display, that module is right there whether its kept on your table near the front door, whether its in your kitchen. . . its right there in your face. The technology allows people to log on with their computers or smart- phones via the internet to get the results, but she said that is not as effective. To get the contract, PowerWatch went to India about a year ago with Premier Dalton McGuinty on a clean- tech trade mission. Stodulski said the pilot project was successful. They were pleased with how things have gone and now theyre looking to go in for a rollout, she said. Demand Response is another product PowerWatch offers, which in conjunction with its monitoring sys- tem, allows users to not only monitor but also control their electricity use remotely. Stodulski said that with a contract with NDPL, she hopes to sign with two other Indian utility companies. PowerWatch offices are located in Oakville and its manufacturing facili- ty is also in the Greater Toronto Area. For the Indian contract, she said some of the manufacturing will have to shift over there. In India, PowerWatch will work with a joint-venture partner to help make the project happen. Stodulski said the research and development will always remain in Canada. She added the company also has projects in Ontario and plans to expand throughout North America.
