How much electricity do we currently consume? What was the peak last year? These are all questions answered by the new software engineer platform.
A new platform signed Guillaume Rozier has just seen the light of day. After CovidTracker and ViteMaDose, the IT engineer launches TrakMyWatt to track energy consumption in France. “How much electricity do we currently consume? Did we use less energy this month? What was the peak last year?Writes Guillaume Rozier on his Twitter account. The publication of this site, without advertisements, comes at a time when the government unveiled its energy sobriety plan on Thursday. Updated every 15 minutes, RTE and Enedis data is shared in real time.
On TrackMyWatt there are three functionalities, including the monitoring of the power consumed in order to “to avoid consumption peaks» and load shedding (cuts) of electricity. This principle also makes it possible to ensurea balance between production and consumption“. “It is very important to educate and give more precise figures to the Frenchmentioned Guillaume Rozier on FranceInfo.
A follow-up of the energy consumed is also displayed for the current month, in order to “reduce our energy consumption“. From 1er as of October 5, this consumption has thus increased by 9.1% over this same period compared to the average of the previous three years. If the idea is to alert citizens, it also aims to “preserve our gas stock“. The executive has also underlined its ambition to reduce energy consumption by 10% within two years.

This energy forecast is supplemented with a summary of consumption peaks per month, useful for knowing their distribution and frequency. “They often occur in December or January» explains Guillaume Rozier. The EcoWatt site already presents the same tools with a color system, from green to red, to know if the system is under voltage. EcoWatt will be directly integrated into TrackMyWatt in the coming days. Guillaume Rozier plans to add to the site “lots of features in the next few weeks and months», in particular the consideration of other energies.
