Austria´s leading energy event under the name Energiesparmesse again proved its popularity as it attracted 94,000 visitors to Wels, Austria in the first weekend of March 2017. With 821 exhibitors from 14 countries worldwide who were able to network at 150 events it also confirmed itself as an important B2B fair trade in the region. Together with its partners, PEAKapp presented its mobile application to potential customers for the first time.

 

At the PEAKapp booth, project team members were inviting residents of Austria, receiving electricity from EnergieAG and with already installed smart meters, to participate in the online app testing. As the PEAKapp project follows a plan to deliver quality of data and high user experience, this is an important app development stage in which input from test users is essential. Testers of mobile app who will complete the online form – also available here – will have to download the first version and play the PEAKapp game.  Participating users will also be entering a draw to win coupons for a range of prizes, 1)€500 coupon for an electric home appliance at our partners FairEnergyPartners, 2) €500 coupon for a spa weekend in your favourite GreenPearls hotel, 3) several €100 coupons for electric gadgets in EnergieAG shop.
