Sense Software Revolutionizes Energy Monitoring, Promising Over $1 Billion in Annual Savings for Utilities by 2030

Real-time embedded software, Sense, is a pioneer in real-time intelligence and could save utilities over $1 billion annually by the end of the decade. It provides consumers with a real time view of the energy being used in their homes at the device level, accessible through a simple mobile app. Sense’s software is embedded in next-generation smart meters, at a marginal incremental cost, and it is optimizing the grid and providing device specific load information to help utilities engage with their customers. It also provides utility operators with new visibility that can improve both daily and long-term reliability. The annual conservation benefit derived from Sense-enabled smart meters could exceed $1.3 billion annually. These savings come from avoided generation, transmission, and distribution capacity costs, as well as avoided greenhouse gas emissions.
