Bruce Power has received recognition from the Public Relations World Awards, winning silver in the \u2018Best App of the Year\u2019 category.<\/p>\n

Among other features, the company\u2019s free mobile app \u2013 available on iOS and Android \u2013 showcases an electricity bill calculator, helping users understand where their electricity comes from, and the energy system\u2019s costs and impacts on air quality. The app also provides real-time updates on Bruce Power\u2019s output, news, job opportunities, community initiatives and other current information.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe know that Ontarians want to understand where their electricity comes from, what it costs, and whether it impacts the environment,\u201d said James Scongack, Bruce Power\u2019s Vice President, Corporate Affairs & Environment. \u201cBruce Power\u2019s free app helps Ontarians to interpret the information on their energy bills and demonstrates Bruce Power\u2019s role in providing Ontario with a reliable source of low-cost, clean energy.\u201d<\/p>\n

One of the most popular features of the app is the interactive calculators that provide users with knowledge about their personal electricity use. With the \u2018Cost and Clean Air Calculator,\u2019 users can input their monthly electricity use and see first-hand where their power comes from, the average percentage costs from each source, and the impact of nuclear power on Ontario\u2019s energy supply.<\/p>\n

Bruce Power\u2019s app also features a \u2018Conservation Calculator,\u2019 which allows users to assess how their usage of appliances and other power consumption will affect their energy bill. Users can get an accurate reading of their costs on a daily, weekly, and monthly basis at varying peak times. The \u2018Climate Change Calculator\u2019 shows the amount of carbon dioxide produced by each energy source in Ontario\u2019s electricity supply mix, including nuclear, natural gas, wind, solar, coal and biomass.<\/p>\n
