Starting today, families can access energy saving advice as part of the government‘s collaboration with Amazon Alexa.
This initiative is a relaunch of the “It All Adds Up” campaign, which helped UK households save an estimated £120 million last winter.
Through a free partnership with Amazon, individuals can now ask Alexa how to reduce their energy bills and receive the latest government guidance on preparing their homes for winter and enhancing long term energy efficiency.
These tips could potentially save at least £100 annually and can be accessed via Amazon Echo devices or the Alexa app.
Alexa will respond to phrases such as “Alexa, give me some energy-saving tips,” “Alexa, give me tips to conserve energy,” and “Alexa, give me tips to get ready for winter.”
Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero Claire Coutinho said: “Energy prices are down 55 per cent since their peak, but we know many families are still facing pressures.
“That is why we are continuing to provide financial support, including targeted help, such as the £150 Warm Home Discount, for those most in need.”
Minister for Energy Consumers and Affordability Amanda Solloway said: “We want everyone to be able to take easy steps this winter to save money on their energy bills.
“By following tips – such as reducing boiler flow temperature, or washing clothes at a lower temperature – families could save at least £100 a year.”
