EnergyHub recognized a trend toward networked thermostats and has successfully translated its energy management software experience into providing products and services that utilities actually buy, through its Mercury smart thermostat and device platform. With over 100,000 Mercury-connected devices in market, partnerships with device manufacturers like Carrier and Radio Thermostat, and utility programs with Xcel Energy, South Carolina Electric & Gas, and a number of co-ops, EnergyHub is in position to be a dominant player in the growing connected thermostat management software and DRMS market. EnergyHub’s device partners’ extensive distribution has enabled EnergyHub to run “bring your own thermostat” demand response programs with CenterPoint Energy, Austin Energy and SDG&E. These innovative programs use thermostats distributed through retail stores, cable companies, service providers, etc. and are expected to grow in 2013. EnergyHub website>>

Silver Spring Networks is not only a leader in the smart grid space but also has great technology products and global strategic partnerships. With its pioneering IPv6 networking platform, Silver Spring has connected more than 13 million homes and businesses throughout the world with the goal of achieving greater energy efficiency for the planet. It has also enabled utilities to respond faster and more efficiently. In the wake of Superstorm Sandy, Silver Spring Networks’ smart grid technology aided utilities with outage prevention and faster restoration. For example, with just 10 percent of its 1.3 million smart meters installed, Baltimore Gas and Electric was able to restore power to 90 percent of affected customers within 48 hours of the storm. Silver Spring’s technology will continue to enable utilities and their customers in 2013 as the technology is increasingly employed. Silver Spring Networks website >>
