Green Mountain Power Offers iFactor-Developed Mobile Apps to Customers
Tempe, AZ (PRWEB) January 27, 2015 -- Green Mountain Power (GMP) has released iOS and Android mobile apps developed by utility communications software company iFactor. The apps offer GMP customers access to real-time energy usage, account management, bill payment, and outage information options.
Through the apps, GMP customers can log in to the same accounts they use for GMP’s website, or use the app to create a new account. The app home screen offers customers the option to view billing information, make a payment, look up payment locations, monitor their energy usage, view power outage information, or contact GMP by phone or on social media.
Customers participating in GMP’s ongoing Smart Home pilot program also have access to real-time energy usage information and more control over some of their power usage, thanks to an internet gateway that connects their smart meter and smart plugs to the mobile apps.
The GMP apps were designed through collaboration between iFactor and GMP with the goal of creating mobile apps that would be both valuable and intuitive to customers. Depending on the results of the Smart Home pilot, future updates to the apps could provide real-time energy usage information and appliance control to all of GMP’s customers.
