My name is Pelumi and I was someone who often switched their energy supplier to make sure I was on the best deal but going through the process multiple times made me realised how confusing, tedious and overcomplicated the whole process can be and made me wonder why it couldn’t just be done automatically.
For most of my career I have worked in the energy industry and so I have a better understanding of the jargon and process when switching suppliers, but going through it personally multiple times made realise how difficult the whole process must be for someone who may not have that technical background.
I have always had a passion for energy. I have been working as an energy engineer for more than a decade developing energy systems and services for both commercial and domestic customers to help reduce their energy consumption and costs. But I have always wondered why innovative technology is not used to help customers switch energy suppliers, save energy and reduce their carbon emissions.
