How it works

Invisible rewards.
Real savings.

Tricity Labs works quietly in the background. You connect once — after that, your housing association's smart-meter SaaS platform does the rest. Simple software tools, no hassle.

01

You give consent

Your housing association introduces Tricity Labs. Simple, GDPR-compliant consent for your existing smart meter data. Takes two minutes.

02

Receive usage alerts

When it's a good time to use power — lower demand, better value — you get a simple notification. Entirely voluntary.

03

Earn bill credits automatically

Your balance grows in pounds and pence, not points. Credits accumulate passively. No expiry.

04

Credit applied to your account

Real money sent to your rent, service charge, or energy bill every month. No vouchers. No delays.

What your landlord sees

Better homes, not more hassle for you.

The same platform that rewards you also helps your housing association monitor building performance — checking temperature, humidity, and air quality in homes that need it. That means safer, warmer homes and fewer surprise repairs. You won't notice the monitoring; you'll notice the difference.

The Lifeline mechanism

If you have a prepayment meter,
the lights stay on.

If your prepayment meter balance falls critically low, Tricity Labs automatically sends an emergency top-up — before disconnection happens. No action from you. No call to your supplier.

⚡ No late-night panic. The heating stays on while help reaches you.

Who this is for

Any tenant with a prepayment meter connected through their housing association's Tricity Labs deployment. The Lifeline mechanism is active automatically once your meter is connected — no setup needed.

Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know.

Do I need to switch energy suppliers?

No. Tricity Labs works with whoever you are already with. Nothing changes on the supply side.

Do I need to download an app?

No. Everything works through your existing smart meter and, if you choose, a simple web portal. No app store, no download.

Is my data safe?

Yes. Tricity Labs follows Privacy-by-Design principles. We access only anonymised, read-only energy consumption data. You can withdraw consent at any time.

What if I do nothing — do my credits expire?

No. There is no expiry on accumulated credit balances. They remain fully yours and are applied automatically each month.

I have a prepayment meter. How does this help me?

The Lifeline mechanism automatically protects your meter from running out unexpectedly — sending an emergency top-up before disconnection, with no action needed from you.

Is there any cost to me?

No. There is no cost to join and no cost at any point. Tricity Labs is funded through your housing association's partnership, not by tenants.

Will sensors be installed in my home?

For most tenants, no. Tricity Labs works through your existing smart meter. IoT sensors for temperature, humidity, and air quality monitoring are only deployed in a small number of homes flagged for deeper diagnostics — and only with your housing association's agreement.
