Review SlimmemeterPortal.nl: monitor your energy consumption

This free service, running via a website, shows you how much electricity and gas you use. It uses a central database in which the energy consumption per address is kept – and for which you give permission to consult this data.

The dashboard gives you insight into your consumption, where you can define the reporting period yourself. On a separate tab you compare the consumption with that of other residents in the area or users in a comparable home.

If you want more functions, there is a paid PlusAccount, which can also show the information in an app for iOS and Android. In addition to the basic information, this service provides you with services such as Billing Control, with which you can check your own consumption with the bill from the energy supplier. You can also generate monthly reports with a PlusAccount. The makers also group data on the basis of municipality, so that you can see how it performs as a whole and with which you can compare municipalities.
