Tomorrow's Energy Efficient Smart Grid, Delivered Today

Silver Spring connects utilities with their customers and transforms the delivery of smart grid services while improving energy efficiency, empowering customers and ensuring reliable delivery of low-cost services. We provide the hardware, software and services that connect every device on the smart grid, creating a unified Smart Energy Platform. Over this unified platform, smart utility networks can deploy any number of advanced applications, such as Smart Metering, Demand Response, Distribution Automation and Distributed Generation. Smart Utility Networks can also allow devices such as meters, load management controllers and electric vehicle charging stations to communicate with each other and the utility.

Implementation of the Smart Grid is one of the most important clean technology initiatives of the coming decade

As a Smart Grid solutions company, we enable utilities to achieve operational efficiencies, reduce carbon emissions and empower their customers to monitor and manage their energy consumption. The Smart Grid should operate like the Internet for energy efficiency, avoiding propriety networks built around a single application or device. Silver Spring Smart Energy Platform is the open, IP-based utility networking infrastructure that makes the Smart Grid possible. Silver Spring’s energy efficiency program provides a high-bandwidth, low-latency, and cost-effective solution for utility companies and empowers their customers.
