In the energy transition to a lower carbon future, Iberdrola is launching the Advanced Smart Assistant, a connected energy solution that enables customers to take an active role in the energy transition. Deployed on the Amazon Web Services (AWS) cloud, with Deloitte as service provider, the digital solution enables customers to reduce consumption of smart electric devices by 10-30%.

With this service, Iberdrola customers can connect and control the different electrical solutions in their homes. The platform is designed to transfer consumption to the most economical tariff hours, taking into account the availability of power in the home, adapting to the customer's energy needs, while facilitating electrification and improving the sustainability of the system by seeking the times of greatest renewable production.

The Advanced Smart Assistant is managed automatically and has been developed at Iberdrola's Innovation Middle East Centre using AWS artificial intelligence services. The centre, launched in 2016, specialises in innovative digital solutions for the integration of renewable energy, smart grids and energy efficiency and conservation.

With the Advanced Smart Assistant, electric vehicle charging is designed to be carried out automatically during the hours with the lowest energy costs for the customer or the lowest emissions in the system, maintaining the user's comfort. The solution also makes it possible to reduce air conditioning consumption by taking into account the thermal inertia of the home.

In addition, if the customer has solar panels at home, the platform intelligently manages the home's energy consumption, delaying non-urgent energy consumption to the home's peak green production hours, thus improving energy efficiency.

The Advanced Smart Assistant offers a simple experience through the Iberdrola customer App. It also offers advanced information and recommendations, allowing consumers to be direct agents in the energy transition and in their own energy use.

In the words of Carlos Pascual López, Head of Energy Management Solutions at Iberdrola: "Iberdrola remains committed to innovative products and services. With the Advanced Smart Assistant, we are advancing in the electrification of demand and increasing the energy efficiency of our customers, while helping to integrate renewable generation".

Iberdrola and Amazon recently announced a new global collaboration to support the development of large-scale renewable energy projects and leverage cloud computing technology to enhance digitalisation in the energy transition.

"By leveraging the cloud and innovative solutions like artificial intelligence, Iberdrola is democratising data and making it more accessible to its customers," said Howard Gefen, managing director of Energy and Utilities at AWS. "Iberdrola's Advanced Smart Assistant provides the data and intelligence needed to help customers address their energy consumption and reduce costs, as well as play an active role in the energy transition."

"We are very proud to participate in Iberdrola's initiative. It is a project with a purpose: to make sustainability accessible by automating all energy operations in the home in a safe and comfortable way. Iberdrola's solution is sustainable and allows the end consumer to play an active role in the energy transition," said Alfons Buxó, Global Cloud Leader at Deloitte.

Smart Solutions, a strategic business for Iberdrola

As customers move towards electrification of their domestic energy needs, such as electric vehicles, aerothermal, rooftop solar, with or without storage, etc., they can make decisions on when to use electricity while remotely monitoring and controlling their smart solutions thanks to their flexible and connected nature.

Aware that the best energy for customers and for the planet is the energy that is not consumed, Iberdrola has launched various initiatives to help its customers reduce their energy costs while maintaining comfort in their homes and has developed various connected energy solutions to achieve greater efficiency in the use of devices.

The development of smart solutions is one of the strategic business lines of the Iberdrola group, which, through the Smart Solutions brand, plans to reach 40 million contracts with customers worldwide by 2025 with services such as rooftop solar energy, energy storage, heat pumps and electric mobility, in addition to thermal insulation.
