About

Our Story

All of us at Wattwatchers are driven by a common cause. It’s how to do our bit to reduce harmful and wasteful energy consumption on our planet.

We know we can help with this. We’re all striving to achieve it in our own lives as well as through our work.

Chris Bean, the Founder of Wattwatchers, mobilised a small and dedicated team over a decade ago to solve daily energy challenges.

How do you do this? First you need to know what energy is being used at a site—whether it be a home, an apartment, an office, a factory, a school. Then, once informed by real data, you can adjust your behaviours, and influence others to optimise energy use.

The big question that Wattwatchers began with was: Where do you get the data for that?

The founding team created an ultra-compact, super-smart device which they called the Auditor. It monitors multiple circuits at the same time, communicates via the mobile network to the internet, and delivers a wealth of actionable energy data in real-time.

The team has since grown to include some of the best energy and technology people in Australia. We’ve joined together to develop a state-of-the-art stack of technologies that can capture, extract, distribute and act on energy data for many use cases in the home, businesses and beyond.

We started with a device. But now Wattwatchers is a digital energy platform.

Today, we have a great business enabling energy solutions. It is evolving, scaling and going global. This is great for us as a team, and great for the planet too.

We love what we’re doing. We believe we are making a difference. We’re signed up for a brighter, better energy future.

EPX Acquires Wattwatchers

Epx has acquired Wattwatchers - Digital Energy

Wattwatcher’s technology enables organisations to understand how energy is being used, moment by moment and to act on that insight to reduce energy costs, reduce energy emissions, and accelerate net zero goals. Combined with epx’s EDGE platform, Wattwatchers provides a powerful energy data layer that strengthens operational optimisation, emissions tracking, and sustainability decision-making across the built environment.
