Copper Labs Unveils New Utility Portal to Provide Detailed Grid-Edge Visibility - With our Without Smart Meters
BOULDER, Colo., Aug. 22, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Copper Labs, a utility hardware and software company whose patented solutions enable true interoperability for electric, gas and water meters, announced an upgraded web-based portal that provides unparalleled grid-edge visibility and deep customer engagement. This centralized and user-friendly resource lets utilities see near-real-time data from existing meters in their territory in a filterable map-based interface, allows for sophisticated and personalized customer outreach, and makes it easy to create behavioral load flexibility events in the moments that matter most. "Virtually all other grid-edge solutions currently face significant hardware limitations, including reliance on expensive smart meters and the widespread use of proprietary communication networks," says Dan Forman, CEO of Copper. "Utilities shouldn't be held captive by a single meter type or vendor to get the visibility they need. Copper is the only solution that unlocks data from a wide array of meters, uses robust existing broadband networks, and facilitates a practical and cost-effective path to digital transformation for all utilities." Because Copper's portal can uniquely bring together data from a mix of different meter types, vintages, and vendors, it offers unprecedented new opportunities to better understand the impacts of electrification pathways down to the customer level, support distributed energy resource (DER) adoption and management, and accelerate integrated electric and gas system planning efforts by making it easier to compare consumption data across resources. "With our powerful new portal, utilities can easily see trends across their territories or focus on particular areas of interest, such as neighborhoods where growing EV adoption may strain local distribution transformers," says Forman.
