June 9, 2011 - PRLog -- Current Cost, the global manufacturer of energy monitoring technology, has been selected by E.ON, one of the UK’s leading energy suppliers, as the exclusive real time display (RTD) provider for its latest Energy Fit campaign.

Launching an innovative campaign to encourage consumers to save energy, E.ON will give away Energy Fit Starter Packs, containing the Current Cost EnviR energy monitor, to help users track their electricity usage and kick start their energy fitness journey at home.

Martin Dix, managing director of Current Cost; said: “The EnviR is our most intelligent monitor to date and we’re delighted that E.ON are using it for such an innovative and exciting national campaign. It’s great to see E.ON championing the important issue of saving energy with an initiative that can have a great impact by simply providing consumers with their day to day energy usage information.”
Arslan Sharif, head of propositions & e-commerce at E.ON, said:  “We’ve had a phenomenal response from customers for a free Energy Fit Starter Pack over the past 12 months, which shows the huge amount of interest from customers in them wanting to understand their energy usage.
