“Flashy” energy dashboard from Silver Spring and Greenbox. Silver Spring Networks has teamed with Greenbox Technology to build an energy management dashboard for customers of Oklahoma Gas & Electric. Silver Spring provided the network infrastructure. Greenbox – founded by the man who created the Flash multimedia technology that is now ubiquitous on the Internet – provided the easy-to-use Web interface. The dashboard lets customers see when and where they are using energy with visualizations and email alerts. It lets utilities reduce demand (through efficiency) and shift peak loads through demand response.

   QuickTake: The grid space is seeing an influx of talent from the computing and Internet industries. Watching these aggressive, savvy startups take on the staid electric power industry is like watching the U.S.A. Dream Team play basketball against a squad from the local retirement community.
