Abstract
The method is providing an energy saving service. Customers of a household participate in an energy saving service provided by a service provider. The household prepays an amount for energy consumption in a subsequent time period. The customers determine at an end of a time period whether actual energy consumption during the time period is less than a reference energy-consumption. The household is rewarded with service points corresponding to a difference between the actual energy consumption and the reference energy consumption.
