Energy supplier E.On today launched a new initiative to discover the next wave of energy products and services.
Open to everyone and headed up by Technology expert Pollyanna Woodward the energy company is looking for innovative
and creative products that will transform people's energy use. The best ideas will be put into practice and produced by
E.On.
There will be five different challenges around the themes of rest, work, play, food and wellbeing.
Entrants need to submit their ideas by 9th April and can do so at http://eon-innovation.com
As well as coming up with future-thinking ideas, the online community
will also be able to 'co-create' by commenting on other submissions and voting for the best inventions.
The best submission from each challenge will win a home energy makeover worth up to £2,000, and one of the five
winners will be selected to receive the 'Shining Star' award, which increases the prize to a home energy makeover
worth up to £10,000. Experts at E.ON will then take these ideas into research and development phase with the intention
of making the ideas a reality.
Technology guru and TV presenter Pollyanna Woodward said: "I love new technology and
gadgets and can't wait to see the entries we receive. I'm really hoping that we'll uncover some amazingly exciting
products and services as part of this initiative, and that they will go on to really make a difference to the future
of energy in the UK."
Phil Gilbert, E.ON's Head of Innovation, added: "At E.ON, we're on a mission to get the nation energy fit and we're
committed to leading innovation in the energy industry. It's vital that everyone understands the importance of using
energy efficiently and that's why we're challenging the UK public to come up with cutting edge ideas, which will
provide new and unique ways to use and save energy."
