The data from the smart meter is used to also predict the power usage in future time using data analytics. b)Customers get the current power price in realtime on the app. c) Gives suggestions to customer to save energy by using their equipment in different time. It calculates the Reward points that the customer can earn by doing so.

3) Safety Tips and Alerts: Dominion has always strived for customer safety. This app provides the safety tips and Alerts when required customized to the customer details.
