About Uplight
Uplight creates compelling opportunities for everyone to actively participate in the clean energy transformation. They combine best-in-class energy customer experiences with an open flexibility management platform to create, manage and monetize energy capacity that improves grid resilience, reduces costs and accelerates decarbonization.
By creating new clean energy capacity for 120+ utility clients, Uplight’s solutions have abated two million tons of CO2 from the environment and saved customers $500 million on their energy bills.
Flexible Management
By harnessing distributed energy resources (DERs) – such as smart thermostats, electric vehicles (EVs), solar panels and battery storage – Uplight transforms how energy is managed and balanced across the grid.
- Demand Management Solutions: DERs can improve grid reliability and lower energy capacity costs – but only when load flexibility is unlocked at scale. Uplight's demand response (DR), DER management (DERMS), virtual power plants (VPPs) and EV charging solutions help aggregate, forecast and orchestrate energy assets across classes and device types.
- Energy Asset Optimization: Uplight helps grid asset owners and operators maximize revenue potential from energy assets. Their optimization solutions connect, dispatch and co-optimize front-of-meter (FTM) and behind-the-meter (BTM) assets to reduce energy costs, maximize revenue and scale operations.
Customer Engagement Solutions
Uplight's customer engagement solutions empower energy customers with personalized energy insights, making it easier for them to optimize their energy use and save money – all while contributing to the clean energy transition.
- Energy Efficiency and Electrification Solutions: Uplight drives business and residential customer engagement, energy savings, electrification and load flexibility with personalized, connected customer experiences. Uplight's Utility Marketplaces, Energy Reports, Customer Portals and Alerts enable utilities to reach customers where they are, motivate them to save energy and take action with personalized recommendations.
- Rates Engagement Solution: Rates are a critical, cost-effective tool for load flexibility. Uplight builds awareness through personalized rate education, inspires confidence through streamlined enrollments and motivates action that results in reliable load shift. Uplight's rates reports, coaching emails and alerts increase program adoption and engagement by 3X, maximizing bill savings, load shift and progress toward clean energy goals.
