Facebook, NRDC, Opower Unite On Energy Awareness

Facebook's latest effort to build a good reputation for energy conservation comes in the form of a partnership with the Natural Resources Defense Council and Opower.

Facebook’s latest effort to build a good reputation for energy conservation comes in the form of a partnership with the Natural Resources Defense Council and Opower.

The three parties are developing a new social energy application that will use Facebook’s platform to enable consumers to:

  • Compare the energy usage of their homes versus the national average of similar homes from a national database of millions of homes;
  • Compare their energy usage with their friends’ energy usage (a social version of Opower’s Neighbor Comparison module);
  • Publish energy-related conversations to their Facebook newsfeeds;
  • Enter energy-saving competitions; and
  • Share energy-conservation and efficiency tips.
