ENECHANGE launches "My Energy Report" using AI-based appliance separation technology
ENECHANGE Ltd. (Head Office: Minato-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director & CEO: Tomoya Maruoka, hereafter "ENECHANGE") will launch a new feature, "My Energy Report," in February 2026. This feature visualizes the electricity consumption of each appliance using the "NILM Lite," an AI-based appliance separation technology provided by Informetis Co., Ltd. (Head Office: Minato-ku, Tokyo; CEO: Taro Tadano, hereafter "Informetis"), as part of a collaborative initiative to solve challenges in the energy system.

■Background
As energy prices rise, consumers are becoming more conscious of energy conservation, but there have been limited means to understand the specific breakdown of how much electricity each appliance consumes. Additionally, reducing emissions in the household sector is a crucial issue for achieving carbon neutrality by 2050. Traditionally, understanding the usage of each appliance required the installation of specialized equipment costing tens of thousands of yen, which became a major barrier to widespread adoption. This feature aims to promote efficient energy-saving actions without burdening users by using only electricity data obtained from smart meters to estimate and visualize "appliance-specific usage" through the power of software.
■Overview
"My Energy Report" will be added as a new feature within "My Energy," provided by ENECHANGE. Using Informetis' AI technology, it separates smart meter data into five categories: "Heating and Cooling," "Refrigerator," "Standby Power," "Lighting," and "Others," estimating and displaying the electricity usage for each.
Key Features：
- Visualization of electricity consumption: The usage of each appliance, as estimated by AI, is displayed in specific figures.
- Intuitive understanding: Each appliance's usage is shown in three levels - "high, normal, low," allowing users to easily identify areas with energy-saving potential.
- Personalized suggestions: Based on analysis results, specific energy-saving information and advertising, such as recommendations for air conditioner cleaning, are provided.
- This function is an AI-derived estimate and does not assure actual consumption.
■Introduction to services associated with the initiatives
"My Energy" is an energy management service for general consumers provided by ENECHANGE. With the addition of the "My Energy Report," users can not only gain a better understanding of "what they are using and how much," but also identify high consumption areas, enabling smart energy savings without compromising their quality of life.
■Technical Element and Features
This feature employs "AI-based Simplified Power Usage Visualization Technology (NILM Lite)" developed by Informetis. This technology estimates and analyzes the power consumption breakdown for each type of appliance using only the total power consumption of the entire household. As it leverages existing smart meters, there is no need for purchasing new hardware or installation work.
■Comments from Tomoya Maruoka, Representative Director and CEO
As energy prices surge and household burdens increase, we believe it is essential to create an environment where consumers can engage in energy-saving efforts without stress, through technology. In partnership with Informetis, we have successfully leveraged the existing infrastructure of smart meters to visualize previously "invisible" consumption details. We are confident that this "My Energy Report" will be a significant step towards more efficient energy use and the realization of a sustainable society.
