AutoGrid

Smart grid networking company Silver Spring Networks has partnered with big data analytics startup AutoGrid to develop a product to help utilities better deploy energy saving programs. Under the partnership, the two companies will develop the so-called Silver Spring UtilityIQ Demand Optimizer solution, a product that essentially combines Autogrid's tech with Silver Spring Networks' networking platform. The resulting mashup should help utilities execute demand response management programs faster and cheaper than before. As Autogrid explains it, utilities want to reduce electricity costs and improve the grid's reliability by taking advantage of energy savings programs like demand side management technologies. But the cost of implementing and managing these programs has been the primary challenge. The companies say they're able to reduce the time, cost and risk of applying demand response by folding Autogrid's tech into Silver Spring's networking platform on the front end. Oklahoma Gas &
