Build an app that suggests personalized electricity cuts based on UK household usage patterns.

Why now

Falling per-capita generation means Brits need smarter ways to reduce consumption without lifestyle hits.

Who for
UK households
Business model
Affiliate sales
Effort
A few weeks

UK residents face rising bills but lack clear guidance on which cuts matter most.

An app could analyze smart meter data to recommend high-impact, low-effort reductions (e.g., "Your tumble dryer costs £3/hour").

Monetize through affiliate links to efficient appliances and insulation services.

MVP: Manual entry version without smart meter integration.

Risk: Requires precise local tariff data to be accurate.
