Tendril has announced that they are partnering with Tucson Electric Power (TEP) and the Arizona Governor’s Office of Energy Policy to work on a new program designed to show that secure access to personal energy consumption data can result in reduced energy costs. The program will be funded through a Department of Energy (DOE) Smart Grid Data Access Award, which encourages utilities, local governments, and communities to create programs that help consumers better manage their power consumption.
The TEP Power Partners Project leverages the Tendril Connect cloud platform to create secure communications between TEP and customers. Energy consumption data transmitted from customer meters every 15 minutes or less will be analyzed by Tendril Connect using its behavioral science engine, sophisticated analytics, and building models.
Tendril believes that the Power Partners Project “is unique because it provides TEP customers served by traditional Automatic Meter Reading (AMR) networks with secure energy consumption data and energy management tools typically available only to households with smart meters and advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) networks.”
